In August 2009, when the association first exposed the neglect of the elderly, Labour ministers dismissed the stories as “unrepresentative” — a complacent attitude that appears to be ingrained in the health service. The latest report highlighted 16 cases of patients denied pain relief, left for days without food and drink or forced to use filthy lavatories. This would be hard to countenance under any circumstances — but it is nothing short of outrageous for it to be happening in a health service that has had such a massive increase in funding. As Sir Keith Pearson, the chairman of the NHS Confederation, points out on the opposite page, it is clear that the cases identified in yesterday's report are not isolated instances of bad practice. Last month, the Care Quality Commission criticised an “alarming” decline in standards; in February, the Health Service Ombudsman reported that nearly a fifth of all the complaints it received related to the care of the elderly — and they are on the increase. Inevitably, as more of us live longer and are subject to the diseases of old age, hospitals will have a greater number of older people to care for, and will need to adapt accordingly. But these deficiencies do not require strategic plans, months of meetings or ministerial inquiries: ensuring that patients are fed, watered and able to use clean lavatories should be a basic component of care. Any manager or nurse unable to provide it does not deserve to keep their job,
