Report after report, and horror story after horror story, show that health care for the elderly in the UK is now an advert for voluntary euthanasia .... it frightens me, and millions more to feel themselves on the foothills of old age. The latest report suggests that compassion should be the main key for working with the elderly.
This should be a no brainer with all the money pumped into the NHS, but lets be honest, the 'upgrading' of nurses to become 'mini me' doctors in the NHS (to justify the higher wages Labour gave them), has simply made many 'too posh to push' a commode. Its the auxiliary helpers who now do the cleaning up and compassion (such as it is) for the elderly. ..... even if they come from abroad.
We need to have a new grade of geriatric nurses trained purely to comfort and spend time with the elderly .... maybe paid for by sacking nurses who so singularly fail to provide this care any more.
