I cannot believe youre defending nurses who refuse to feed , clothe, even give water to patients? they have NO excuse for these abuses. there are more nurses than ever, more members of staff than ever, more specialised facilities than ever. they are also paid far more than ever. if they abuse or neglect patients they should be held accountable and go to prison for avery long time

Why don't you do some research before another of your reactionary statements relating to staffing and pay?

'New workforce figures show that there are 276,608 qualified nurses or their full-time equivalent working in the health service – 4,823 fewer than when the coalition took office two years ago.'

'The surge follows cuts to NHS programmes to train nurses in this country, with 10,000 training places cut since 2010.'

Peter Carter, general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, said: "Nursing staff have long recognised the importance of safe staffing levels and consistently provided evidence of the danger to patients where there are too few staff.

"It is good to see that this is now being recognised across the NHS."

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the guidelines were a "major step forward".

"The NHS will be able to give safer care, and patients can have confidence that the right number of nursing staff are on duty."

The guidance also applies to Wales, although it will now be up to ministers there whether it will be applied.'

'the report tells a different story for nurses, with Britain one of only three states that pays them less than the average wage.
The typical nurse earns just 90 per cent the value of the average salary – a level that is worse only in Slovakia and Hungary.'

Please don't twist my posts to infer I'm defending poor care whilst replying to your comments.
