My father has been allowed to lay in a wet bed

"My father has been allowed to lay in a wet bed"

About: Southport & Formby District General Hospital

(as a relative),

My farther is admitted to Ward 11B of Southport hospital this week.

It seems that he has been allowed to lie in bed after wetting himself and probably more. I witnessed this yesterday and today.

He also asked a nurse to help remove his top as he is very week. he was told to do it himself. When he advised he could not, they took it off him and threw it at him. I have only just heard this so can not wait to visit tomorrow to confront this person.

I am neither week or lying down

so, I want to know where i can raise a formal complaint, but more so, get the correct care.
