'Cruel and neglectful' care of one million NHS patients exposed

Artful Dodger: that is the same link that GTCharlie put up....so you probably get the same "Duck shoving" type of answer

Bernice: Yeah but my font is bigger! 

Artful Dodger: Your font is not as big as God's final message to the universe though.

(V): I agree. It's much bigger.

Pedro Martínez: As in some bad apples in all the NHS trusts... yes. The Nursing and Midwifery Council say complaints are about 1 in every 500 nurses/midwifes. Most complaints seem to be about drug/alcohol abuse, and as such are a police matter, who tell the NMC of any convictions. But this could be said of any health service worldwide. Or in any service serving the public

I've seen video's of policemen from various countries assaulting civilians with for no reason. Bus drivers ignoring that an old person cannot move fast, not giving them the time to get on the bus despite that persons obvious effort to catch that bus.

The solution.. fire them.. prosecute if needed.

Artful Dodger:  I'm sure you can find similar examples of abuse in nursing homes in the US.  They aren't the majority, like the abuses reported in the British NHS are not the majority cases there.  Any amount of that type of neglect or abuse aren't acceptable anywhere & remedies are paramount, but it doesn't represent an entire system.  As pointed out in your article, over 92% of patients in the British system rate their care as good or excellent.

Artful Dodger: It's an estimated figure by the paper. They have no actual figure of a million.

Helps sell da paper though
