"SURREY County Council has spent more than £2.5million in the past year paying for social care beds for the elderly which have been left empty."
"In the past 12 months empty dementia beds cost taxpayers £440,000."
In one county of England.

Now, what could we do with £2.6 million?????
Please post all suggestions here - I'm sure someone will come up with a few ideas.
PS. I don't like the language used to describe the situation, but I didn't write it - I just posted the link and quotes!
