NHS Crisis - Cruising Not Caring is the solution

With the average cost for care home residents being in the region of £800 per week, it has occurred to me that the answer to the NHS crisis, and our increasingly ageing population, must surely be to send them all on a cruise. I may be quite mad but I am also quite serious about this. 
I am not a fan of cruises myself, having spent a truly dire week on board the ill fated Concordia, shortly before it sank. However, I am now of an age where the majority of my retired friends seem to look forward to a cruise as the highlight of their year. With holiday companies offering budget busting cruises for £400 per week or less, during the winter months, with heating bills through the roof, and ageing sickly patients clogging up the beds in our hospitals, it would seem to me to be the ideal solution. 
They would be in a relatively safe environment with round the clock attention, plenty of activities on offer to keep them occupied, en suite facilities, new people to meet, sights to see, and food on demand for the fussiest of palates. In addition to this, all cruise ships carry on board trained medical personnel, so barring major illnesses, most minor aches and pains could be adequately and promptly dealt with without waiting days for a doctor's appointment. They would also benefit from a change of scenery, returning refreshed and feeling better after having had a little holiday, all without having to worry whether or not they can afford to have the heating on. I do believe it's high time that in thinking 'outside the box' we should consider options such as this. Besides, it would certainly help to boost the tourist industry, sea sickness pills could be includes as an added bonus, and a canny person could also rent out their home to someone who could afford to keep it going.... just a thought.
