P-04-523 Protect the elderly and vulnerable in care homes
We, the undersigned, call
upon the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to hold a
Public Inquiry into the events that led to Operation Jasmine, which
investigated alleged neglect of older people in nursing homes in Wales.
Additional information:
With the collapse of
Operation Jasmine, where the police investigated more than 100 cases of alleged
neglect and spent more than £13 million, it has meant that those affected have
had no justice and those responsible for the neglect have not been held
accountable. We call for a Public Inquiry to take place to ensure that all
aspects of the cause of neglect are fully investigated and that new legislation
is passed to make certain that people in nursing homes will receive a higher standard
of care and if they do not, that they can then obtain redress via the
appropriate agencies and the legal system.
