I do not know how you can ensure privacy, dignity or confidentiality in these circumstances.
During one these visits I saw an elderly gentleman with dementia get off a trolley exposing himself because he had no pyjama bottoms on.
He was very unsteady on his feet….so a fractured hip waiting to happen.
It is lamentable and much of it is because people cannot get to see GPs.
Taddy I hope that Hazel is OK.

Thanks Marge, yes she is feeling much better. I am in the process of writing out an E-mail to the Chief Executive of the East Lancashire Health Authority, which you kindly supplied last year, whether it will do any good or not only time will tell but I am not holding my hopes up.
