    The set of standards come after an inquest revealed that neglect by medical staff led to the death of a hospital patient who called 999 because he was so thirsty.

    Kane Gorny, 22, from Balham, south London, died of dehydration at St George’s Hospital, in Tooting, in May 2009.

    The new standards state that: “All patients should have access to fresh drinking water at all times, unless it contradicts clinical advice.”

    On en apprend de belle sur le NHS britannique !
    Les nouvelles normes disent aussi que :

    …patients receive nutritious and appetising food throughout their hospital stay.

    Pour vérifier cela des équipes d’inspection, composées pour moitié de patients, vérifieront le goût, la qualité et la température des aliments.
