No where in my post did I accuse anybody of neglect, so stop trying to stir it. I think the hospital is woefully understaffed and our concerns need to be pointed out to management.

Read my post in the context that it was given.....I am not trying to stir it for anyone.........if as you say the dressing needing changing who's decision was that?
Who told you your Mum needed an X-Ray?......Who told your Mum that she should have Physio? and when?
All it needs is for a patient to say 'can you look at my dressing nurse I'm not happy with it'.
My daughter is a nursing sister at Blackburn Royal and I would think that she along, with her staff would take exception to the claim that a patient was not being looked after.
