Is CDS a form of murder on the NHS?

Is CDS (Continuous Deep Sleep) a form of murder on the NHS? - I believe it is. See what Dr Harrison has to say about the death of his father in Doncaster Royal Infirmary, here in this BBC News report.

A friend of mine was telling me only today about an old lady she visits every day and has visited every day for some years, who has recently been 'taken over' by 3 NHS nurses working shifts to be with her 24 hours a day in her own home. They have very heavily sedated the old lady, telling my friend that this was because she was 'agitated', but this was not the case, and in any case, would be no justification. My friend is very concerned about the old lady, whom she still visits every day, but she feels unable/reluctant to intervene/protest, not being a relative. I too feel concerned about the old lady, although I do not know her. This arbitrary drugging is cloaked in the rhetoric of caring, but like Dr Harrison, I believe it is a form of murder: murder on the NHS. I do not believe anyone would want to die like this - to have this cruel form of death imposed on them by health professionals who have decided it is time for them to go. How can we protect ourselves from this? Or other people?

Puts you in mind of Dr Shipman, doesn't it?

Callousness masquerades as Care in the NHS Dance of Death.

Look at this chilling statistic taken from the BBC report: "Research suggests use of CDS in Britain is particularly high - accounting for about one in six of all deaths."

Hello, America! - What do you think of these examples of Britain's End-of-Life Care on the NHS?

Survey discloses that three out of four councils have cut free home support services for the elderly and the disabled in order to save money.

Three out of four councils are cutting care for elderly and disabled
Telegraph article

Extracts:

"The poll by the Local Government Association found that town halls are increasingly withholding support for all but those with the most severe needs, as Britain's ageing population puts their budgets under increasing strain.

This means that thousands of pensioners and disabled people must either pay for their own care - and scrimp on food and heating - or remain effectively trapped in their own homes with no help to carry out basic tasks such as eating or washing.

The LGA, which represents local authorities across the country, is calling for the Government to use a forthcoming Green Paper to simplify the social care system and increase its funding to ensure those in need are not denied help."

"Gordon Lishman, Director General of Age Concern, added: "These figures are further evidence that the care system is coming apart at the seams and needs urgent reform.

"It is disgraceful that people who need care and can't afford to pay are being told they simply won't get any help. It is positively Orwellian that these cuts are being delivered through a process known as 'Fair Access to Care Services'."

"Orwellian" Ofsted survey on pupils

Row over 'intrusive' Ofsted survey of pupils - Telegraph

Extract:

"Pupils as young as 10 are being asked if they smoke and whether their mothers are in paid work as part of a Government-backed survey branded "Orwellian" by parents' groups.

About 120,000 pupils have already completed the survey by Ofsted, the education watchdog, which is compiling a database on children's lifestyle, health and happiness.

Children, who do not need to ask parents' permission before taking part, are asked: "Does the mum or step mum that you live with have a paid job?"

They are also asked to rate how "safe or unsafe" they feel at school and home, how many times they have drunk alcohol in the last month, the number of cigarettes smoked, and whether they receive free school meals.

Although pupils do not have to give their name, they are asked to provide postcodes, sparking fears the information could be used by police or social services.

Some schools are refusing to take part amid fears that it is too intrusive. Mick Brookes, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said the survey smacked of "Big Brother".

Margaret Morrissey, a spokesman for the National Confederation of Parent Teacher Associations, also attacked the "Orwellian" scheme. "It is absolutely inappropriate to be asking these kind of questions and it is totally out of order to ask for their postcode," she said."
