   people of the UK are very reluctant to advocate for their relatives care.. they simply take what ever the Dr,s and Nurses tell them ,,, as I have worked in the medical field in the UK and also , have had cause to question care of a relative myself ,, I would urge everyone that has any suspicions about the treatment of their relatives to absolutley address the issue and demand explanations ,,patient,s them selves are allowed access to there records ,, I had my reletive ask for copy,s of their health records ,, The Medical people dont like it ,, But it is your RIGHT , they may charge a fee ,, but In my case it was worth it ,,Keep on top of your own care and any family member ,, It,s Important .. dont be intimidated ,, you have right,s
