About: Sunderland Royal Hospital

E Floor Ward 58 Stroke Unit

I was so upset to see my relatives hand smeared in faeces and putting his fingers in his mouth, the nurses said that they were not allowed to clean his hands but his relatives could .

of course we will but is that right if we are not there that no one will clean his hands
