12 CQC dignity and nutrition reports released

We reported yesterday that 6 hospitals have been classified as 'causing concern' to the Care Quality Commission in relation to the way in which they treat eldery people. 3 hopsitals were named as having failed essential standards relating to nutrition and dignity. These 3 hospitals were; The Royal Free in London, The Ipswich NHS Hospital Trust, and Alexandra Hospital in Redditch.

This report followed the release of the CQC's 'Dignity and Nutrition for Older People' reports for 12 hospitals across the country. The full reports for all 12 of these hospitals can be viewed from the CQC's website. They all make for an interesting read...
