Last week the BBC reported on how the Care Quality Commission has raised serious concerns over how acute NHS hospitals are caring for the elderly.
Three hospitals were named as having failed to comply with the legal essential standards of care that relate to providing patients with sufficient food and drink and to treating patients with dignity and care. The three hospitals named were Alexandra Hospital in Redditch, The Royal Free in London, and Ipswich Hopsital. Furthermore, concerns were raised over the performance and standards seen at 3 additional hospitals across the country.
