Doctors and nurses may face jail for neglect

[Northerner]

Doctors and nurses found guilty of "wilful neglect" of patients could face jail, the government is proposing.

Wilful neglect will be made a criminal offence under NHS changes to be unveiled next week following the Mid Staffordshire and other care scandals.

The offence will be modelled on one punishable by up to five years in prison under the Mental Capacity Act.

Bet my parents GP's will be quaking in their boots at the prospect of jail if this ever goes through. Their treatment by the deadly duo as they are know by is appalling 😡
