I went to visit my father who is totally immobile without being told he had been moved due to having contracted norovirus. I was led into the infectious ward and it stank. I have been since told it is very likely I will also become ill with the highly contagious virus. I was not warned and my father has been allowed to become ill twice with this within two weeks, on two separate occasions.
I simply cannot express my anger and dismay towards a totally inadequate system, This is sadly not an occasional one off incident, its going on all the time. I feel the elderly are not being adequately treated in hospitals anymore and are entering at their peril. An immediate review and emergency measures need to be implemented, as I do not believe this is lawful and is an outright breach in duty of care.
