Causes of concern in nursing homes.
I think the reasons for the upsurge in complaints about nurses in nursing homes (UKCC warns of 'immense' crisis in nursing home sector, News, February 23) are threefold: the increase in the number of homes; the fact that we now deal with social workers more, who have a different philosophy of care; and the fact that we are inspected at least twice a year by health board inspection teams.
