this report was from the main writer in the welsh national newspaper , carolynn hitt....I presume she means the tubes were not cleaned and her mother couldnt be fed through them...Ive witnessed myself failures in the nurses refusing to offer swallow tests that take 5 minutes...thats atablespoon of salt and water, if they are able to swallow it propelry then patients can go back to eating some food and drink....the fact they point blank refused to do it for 5 days tells you about nursing attitudes....the next day i walked in the same nurse is sat at a desk with feet up, within 50 yards of my dad reading a magazine while he has still not had the swallow test and is therefore still unable to eat and drink, several more in the ward were in exactly the same predicament and the nurse simply didnt care....who can she blame that on? the government? money? her bosses? or the fact she simply didnt care?
