Verbatim
“I look back with anger, sadness and shame at how our colleagues in the care sector and their residents/clients (and respective families) were treated. Never again, please.”
“So we are starting to see the fallout from poor policy/guidance from DH/NHSE. Discharge plans to care homes etc causing huge amount of understandable confusion and even possible cross-infection across the sector.”
