Bowen the Telegraph: “My brother went in there and my father was complaining about getting very thirsty. He likes Ribena and [my brother] noticed the Ribena bottle hadn’t even been opened. My brother spoke to a nurse who stated ‘I do not know what’s going on there’ and wasn’t very helpful.
“Then he spoke to the man who brought round the meals, who advised him ‘no we’re not providing him meals because we’ve been advised not to – he’s nil by mouth’. That is what you do for individuals just prior to operations – which he wasn’t possessing.
“I really don’t know the complete details except it appears quite clear he didn’t have foods or drink as far as we know. They found all this on Saturday and he was admitted Thursday-Friday overnight, so by then it would have been 24 hours or so.”
“Apparently he was sporting the identical clothes he had been wearing when he was admitted. There’s some large question marks about his care there,” he stated.
“When my siblings located out about they organized for him to be discharged back to his care residence.”
He mentioned his father, a retired journalist, was now back in his care property and had “perked up a bit now he is getting some food and drink”.
Bowen stated he voiced his anger on Twitter since he knew “there has been some concern about the hospital”.
He said: “I’m a large believer in the NHS, huge supporter of the NHS and user of the NHS. It is extremely disappointing and saddening and frightening when things don’t go right.”
Mr Bowen said he had previously had to complain about his father’s remedy after he broke his hip and had difficulties over his admission and a delay just before his operation.
The journalist’s remarks come amid continuing worries more than the neglect of elderly patients in hospitals and care houses in the wake of the Mid Staffordshire scandal.
An inquiry into failure at Mid Staffs found that individuals had been left lying in their very own excrement and had to drink water from vases in some of the worst examples of neglect ever noticed in the NHS.
Hundreds of individuals are believed to have died needlessly.
But a report late last yr by the Care Quality Commission explained hospitals had created “no improvement” in monitoring the quality of care or ensuring that individuals were safe or taken care of with dignity.
Some 18 per cent of hospitals have been failing to meet standard specifications on nutrition and dignity, with patients left without having assist to consume, drink or go to the lavatory. Some patients had been left calling for help due to the fact call bells have been not answered or out of reach.
Ministers have now unveiled strategies for a new law covering “wilful or reckless neglect” in which all NHS could encounter jail if they are found guilty of the most intense sorts of bad care.
Ms Clwyd, the Labour MP, claimed her husband Owen had died like a “battery hen” in 2012, describing the “contempt” of nurses.
An investigation by the NHS into her husband’s treatment method concluded in April that there was “insufficient evidence” of poor care – even although it conceded that he died from hospital-induced pneumonia following investing 27 hrs in A&E.
