"Staff are shocking"

About: Darlington Memorial Hospital

I am absolutely disgusted at my visit tonight my poor father who is on ward 32 the care from this ward is terrible. My father who is disabled has had no care at all he has had an operation and since this has been what I call neglected. Was sick and left for at least 20 minutes with out a any assistance my sister had to clean him up and look after him, left in a bed slumped and food left in front of him at his paralysed side so he could not eat it. Left with no food for 24h and then told no food for him because doctor advised a light diet and someone ordered him something else ice cream he had for tea I couldn't believe it and also needed a protein drink and 4 days later received it only because my sister phoned up to say she was bringing him soup because he was hungry an absolute discase.
