I agree though, and wonder what BBC manager can have looked at Speak Your Branes and thought:

Incoherence.
Monomania.
Limited pool of obsessive posters.
We need to get this sort of quality out to the rest of the website.

Yes Lorraine, I blame lack of discipline in schools. WTF? Personally I would blame the repulsive practices of private healthcare firms, and would think that this sort of thing will be become more and more common as Cam's mates asset strip the NHS, but what do I know? It's probably down to speed cameras. It's easier to think like that, isn't it Lorraine?

I like the way she lumps the vulnerable (the young and elderly) together with pets and people with iron deficiency.

I saw that doucumentary last night. It was indeed shocking, but still I found that the first thing I thought of once it was over was "I wonder what sort of comments THIS will get?"

Isn't punishing people the problem in all this.... if they gave a shit about other people then they wouldn't treat them like this

Looking at that place shown that there had been failings at every level. The NMC and RCN have been banging on today about how support workers should be regulated, how their training should be standardised and that that may lead to people actually giving a shit about their jobs. However, where were the nurses, who are supposed to be supervising these members of staff, who have the training to be able to plan and coordinate quality activities for these people creating a good therapeutic environment? The two who were shown on the documentary won't be nurses for much longer. Why are these activities not being arranged when the company made 30 million in profit the year ending 2009? Where has this money gone that was being paid for the care of these people? Why did the CQC ignore the concerns of a clearly experienced nurse who told them abuse was happening? I'm absolutely horrified the abuse shown has been allowed to happen and people at all levels have been complicit in it. Glad to see four of these have been arrested and that 13 have been suspended and will more than likely loose their jobs and be unable to deliver their fucked up interprtation of care to anyone ever again.

The nurse reported his concerns on three seperate occasions.

The representative from the care quality services seemed to be of the oppinion that there was a slip up, and that someone had failed to be observant enough on that occasion. More training was needed he says.

Once is a possible mistake (a dangerous one, naturaly).
Three seperate failiures seems to me to be dangerously close to deliberately ignoring a persons reports.
We don't know the facts of course, so we can't assume, but it is very odd indeed.

Indeed, he reported his concerns to his direct manager and nothing was done, then to the manager above him and still nothing was done so he went to the CQC who appear to have not done anything. its a shame that yet again a nurse who wants to whistleblow has had to use the BBC rather than the services that are supposed to be safeguarding the vulnerable.

And it's almost always the BBC isn't it? Funny that the Mail don't give them any credit for that, given that people obviously trust them.

The Mail "campaigns" though, be fair.

when did the BBC campaign on anything except multiculturalism?

That do that Charidee thing with Lenny Henry and singing newsreaders once a year.

They also tried that outrageous anti-israel propaganda thing.

thank god mark thompson fixed that!

This thread thoroughly deserves a good bump. So here it is...

Have any of them realised that the organs will save lives? They're not being taken to be made into kebabs in the Welsh Assembly canteen!
