absolutely. having seen the disgraceful passive abuse my family have experienced at Wythenshawe hospital from the nursing staff I fully agree. by passive abuse I mean, for example.... I visited a close family member and found their catheter bag completely full of urine on many occasions. I would notify a nurse - HOURS later they would do something about it. This same person was on a special diet - this didn't stop them time and time again giving him the wrong food and drinks until I eventually lost my cool and told them that if this resulted in the death of this person then I'd have them on a manslaughter charge.
nurses are getting a below inflation pay rise this year - something like 2.5% in 2 stages because their union doesn't have any infuence over labour. how does that motivate the good ones to do a good job?
