Ann Clwyd MP's campaign for compassion in nursing

Written by Super User 09 Dec 2012

An MP who said her late husband died 'like a battery hen' in hospital says she will start a campaign for greater compassion and care in nursing. Ann Clwyd, Labour MP for Cynon Valley, has criticised the 'indifference and contempt' of some nurses who treated her late husband at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff. She said she had received an 'amazing response' since speaking out. Mrs Clwyd will now meet campaign groups to see how best to raise standards. “There are some good nurses, but there are also some very bad nurses and people have talked about their own experiences. I've had hundreds and hundreds of emails from people from all over the country and the theme is the same. Mrs Clwyd said she intended to meet patient bodies and campaigning groups to see how the issues raised could be addressed.

Pray: for a society that cares more for everyone especially the vulnerable such as the sick and the elderly. (Php. 2:3-4)
