This is Mrs Zofia Henry. Admitted to ward G2 at Royal Oldham Hospital with a viral infection she died five weeks later of pneumonia. During her spell in the hell-hole that is G2, Mrs Henry was not given the steroids she has been taking for twenty-five years to combat asthma, her diabetes was not controlled and a fracture in her back was not diagnosed. John Saxby who claims to be chief executive of PAT apologised profusely saying treatment was deficient in many aspects. A sister had been removed from the ward for intensive re-education and retraining, but he said the ultimate outcome was not likely to have been affected. The PAT stumped up £5,000 in compensation to Mrs Henry's family.
It may just be me, but I think treatment was deficient in all aspects. Disgraceful would be a better description.
Why has a sister been removed from the ward for intensive re-education and retraining? Why was the sister promoted to the post when obviously, and admittedly not up to the task? When one becomes a sister we, the public, expect that person to have already had extensive training and education. Presumably it will all be swept quietly under the carpet now and sister will be back in charge when on these facts she should not be in a job right now. What about the rest of the nursing staff on G2? They are all complicit in this litany of neglect and incompetency. Saxby's claim that the outcome was not likely to have been affected by Mrs Henry's treatment beggars belief. If any of you come across this obnoxious turd bleeding to death on the street, ignore him, it won't affect the outcome. Will it?
The sooner this paper shuffling, empire-building, know nothing bunch of placemen and tit-suckers are swept away, the better!
DUTY OF CARE .............MY ARSE!!!
