Liverpool Care Pathway - From The Frontline

We have said: People at the sharp end of this flawed NHS (National-socialist Health Service) policy that is the Liverpool Care Pathway are crying out to be heard and no-one will hear.


From The Frontline

The tick-box, evidence-based LCP is a 'Gold Standards Framework' that cannot be contested precisely because it is 'evidenced-based'. The LCP is a legal document and cannot be contested precisely because it is a 'legal document'.



In the real world, those on the receiving end of this blunt instrument that is the LCP protocol know otherwise.

However, our evidence is 'anecdotal' and, therefore, not considered reliable. The LCP is 'authoritative' evidence. It is 'Gold Standard’ and evidence-based.

Of course, this is 'anecdotal evidence'; we are telling it how it is and not how it looks!

Not at all untypical or exceptional, this comment was made on the Care2 Liverpool petition site:

My mother was killed on the liverpool care plan at the james paget hospital she was given two days to drink before they removed the drip it was later found that her false teeth had been stuck together because of a paste like food they had given her and she could not open her mouth to drink she had recieved no mouth care.Who gives the nhs the right to play god

That bears repeating in big, bold letters –

How often I heard my mother's affectionate lament in response to some silliness or inattentiveness on my part: "Wake up England!"

Well…

Wake up England! The Nazis are come knocking by the back-door.

The LCP is a legal document. The LCP is legalised killing.
