AnnotationThe Commission on Dignity in Care was set up in July 2011 as an independent body by the Local Government Association (LGA), the NHS Confederation and Age UK, its aim being to identify the underlying causes of persistent failings and shortcomings in the care of older people. This draft report (public consultation ended 27th March 2012)is based on expert evidence, and recommends fundamental changes to the culture, leadership, management, staff development (including the teaching and training ethos), clinical practice and service delivery of care homes and NHS hospitals. The focus is on how to tackle the underlying causes of poor care. Four case studies illustrate what constitutes good quality of care. (RH).
