Panorama programme on patient abuse

As some of you might have seen, Panorama recently broadcast a program that focused on the abuse of vulnerable patients in care.

If you didn't see the program then at the moment it's still available on iplayer although please be aware that it is very distressing -http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b011pwt6/Panorama_Undercover_Care_The_Abuse_Exposed/

If you'd like more details without watching the program then the latest BBC story is available here -

In response the NAS has called for more regular independent inspections of care services and has created a petition to help support this.

And of course we'd welcome people who want to use this discussion to talk about the issues raised by the program.
