Quote: Britain apologises for 'Third World' hospital (AFP) – Mar 18, 2009
LONDON (AFP) — The British government apologised Wednesday after a damning official report into a hospital likened by one patient's relative to "a Third World" health centre.
Stafford Hospital in central England was found to have appalling standards of care, putting patients at risk and leading to some dying, according to a report on Tuesday.
Between 400 and 1,200 more people died than would have been expected in a three-year period at the National Health Service (NHS) hospital, according to an investigation by the Healthcare Commission watchdog.
"We do apologise to all those people who have suffered from the mistakes that have been made in the Stafford Hospital," said Prime Minister Gordon Brown, questioned on the matter at his weekly grilling in the House of Commons.
Receptionists with no medical training were left to to assess patients arriving at the hospital's accident and emergency department, the report found.
Julie Bailey, whose 86-year-old mother Bella died in the hospital in November 2007, said she and other family members slept in a chair at her bedside for eight weeks because they were so concerned about poor care.
"What we saw in those eight weeks will haunt us for the rest of our lives," said the 47-year-old. "We saw patients drinking out of flower vases they were so thirsty.
"There were patients wandering around the hospital and patients fighting. It was continuous through the night. Patients were screaming out in pain because you just could not get pain relief.
"It was like a Third World country hospital. It was an absolute disgrace."
The British premier, who has trumpeted huge increases in spending on the NHS since his Labour party took office in 1997, said there were "no excuses" for what happened to patients at the hospital.
Health Secretary Alan Johnson said: "I apologise on behalf of the government and the NHS, for the pain and anguish caused to so many patients and their families by the appalling standards of care at Stafford Hospital.
"Patients will want to be absolutely certain that the quality of care at Stafford Hospital has been radically transformed, and in particular, that the urgent and emergency care is administered safely," he added. |

According to the Healthcare Commission, 103 health trusts more than a quarter of those in England have admitted failing to achieve the minimum requirements set by the government for combating the superbugs MRSA and Clostridium difficile. No improvement has been made on a year ago. And the government’s response?
Is Ben Bradshaw misleading the public?
“This improvement is a great tribute to the hard work of NHS staff,” said health minister Ben Bradshaw. “We are also pleased that infection control is showing significant improvement.”
Qué? Has Mr Bradshaw tumbled out of his place in the time/space continuum and read a statement relating to hospital conditions in one of those parallel universes about which cosmologists speculate?
Or is he just a typical weasel politician, seizing desperately upon a red herring to mislead the public? If you ticked option 2, you win a cigar.
Bradshaw, like a panhandler picking a grain of gold out of a barrow-load of dross, had homed in on the fact that the number of trusts failing to comply with more than seven standards had fallen from the previous figure of 15. So that is all right.
Except, of course, that more than 8,000 people died from superbug-related infections. In English hospitals. In the 21st century.
The government’s complacency is as astounding as it is immoral. If this goes on, we shall soon have health tourism from Britain to Equatorial Guinea.
Every reform is a sham. The infection crisis was caused by slovenly doctors and nurses refusing to wash their hands and work-shy cleaners skimping their job.
The overmanned bureaucracy was more concerned with imposing politically correct rules that ensured married women would be insulted by having their husbands described as “partners”, for fear of giving offence to Tower-block Tracey who had come in to have her fifth baby to eight putative fathers.
They have spent £50 million “deep cleaning” our Third World hospitals and the bugs are thriving.
Bring out your dead! Welcome to Brown’s Britain. Awfully good news, though, about that statistical improvement whatever it was that Ben Bradshaw so alertly detected. |
