Dignity and nutrition inspection programme
The Care Quality Commission has published a report 'Dignity and nutrition inspection programme'. The report looked into the standards of care that older people receive in hospital, and calls for a system-wide response to combat the failings identified. The report summarises the findings of 100 unannounced inspections of NHS acute hospitals which took place between March and June, looking at whether the essential standards of dignity and nutrition were being met on wards caring for older people.
