Liverpool Care Pathway: A National Scandal

Liverpool Care Pathway – The Unthinkable Policy



What was the unthinkable...
“Police are reported to be investigating 60 cases involving pensioners who died after allegedly being deprived of food and water by hospital staff.”

Is still the unthinkable...
“…the CQC expressed "major concerns" about the failure to ensure elderly patients had enough to eat and drink.”

But is become the policy...  
Patients are being diagnosed as being close to death “without regard to the fact that the diagnosis could be wrong. As a result a national wave of discontent is building up, as family and friends witness the denial of fluids and food to patients."

About Me

My photo
Eldoel
I am distraught and I despair that these events have befallen this family. The picture is of me and my lovely mum, murdered on the NHS (National-socialist Health Service). Murdered. Is that too strong a word? Her life was taken without her permission. By omission and by commission, actions taken and not taken conspired to end her life. She was kept in ignorance of what was proceeding before her very eyes, as were we. Was she, then, not murdered?
