Anything else?
basic nursing care poor, one wash a day if lucky, oral hygiene non-existent, patient with bed sore had to drag themselves up the bed -staff not allowed to lift - making the sores worse, attention to diet and drinks poor - poor choices, allergies not catered for meaning some meals missed most days, relatives not allowed to assist with meals or washing, bells take far too long to get attention, patient unable to walk told to walk to the toilet without help, need I continue - these things are actually happening - I have seen with my own eyes - all this because of lack of staff - yet money is still wasted on agency nurses, and not enough basic nursing training on the wards.
"staff shortages mean poor care, including food"
