RESIDENTIAL CARE ABUSE

Reading of the disgraceful abuse of vulnerable patients filmed by the BBC at a Bristol residential care hospital I quite frankly wondered how the evil bastards seen dishing out the abuse live with themselves.

Evidently the hospital owners have apologised and suspended a dozen or so employees.  Oh well that's alright then ?  Do they think they are any less responsible for the abusive behaviour than those dishing it out at the sharp end ?

Let's ask ourselves why it takes undercover reporters to expose the sort of behaviour that any even half-responsible or mildly interested owner or manager would disallow ?  Should we wonder to what extent cost,..... .....sorry greed, ..... is an issue here ??  Is the taxpayer really charged £3,500 per week for each of the unfortunate patients ?  If so there can be no excuse for overworked, under-trained  or under-paid staff;  no excuse for poor food or conditions.........I reckon there's much more to this than has yet come out. It's absolutely indicative of another disgraceful waste of taxpayers money on top of everything else ?

In a nutshell it appears to work like this: give us £180,000 odd each year  - more if we can screw it out of you - and we'll make sure your son, father, daughter, whoever,  is subjected to disgraceful treatment by the evil bastards we've employed or secured through an agency,  for so long as we're not caught out......and if it's up to the Regulators to catch us ....... well we'll take that chance !!   Suckers ?
