Elderly patients are being left to starve in soiled bedclothes, a damning report into the Health Service says today.RTWT.
Tens of thousands of patients suffer appalling service - but their complaints are ignored by negligent trusts, it is claimed.
The report, by watchdog the Healthcare Commission, also said that mothers are being left alone during labour without pain relief.
And GPs come under attack for being rude, allowing patients only the briefest of consultations, and missing signs of deadly diseases.
The commission said that far too often the NHS failed to take complaints seriously, or failed to apologise when clearly in the wrong.
