Who Cares?: One Family’s Shocking Story of Care in Today’s NHS

Around 34,000 people die unnecessarily in NHS hospitals every year – victims of mistakes, bad hygiene and poor care. Amanda Steane’s WHO CARES? is just one of these horror stories. Her husband Paul went into hospital for minor surgery. After repeated mistakes and neglect by inexperienced doctors and over-worked nurses in filthy wards, Paul emerged a helpless invalid. Unable to walk, talk or breathe properly, Paul took his own life. The NHS tried to avoid responsibility by claiming that key parts of Paul’s medical records were lost. But a nurse, outraged at how Pauld was treated, sent Amanda copies of the supposedly lost medical records.
