Last Meals

A report by the charity Age U.K. found that many elderly patients are left to starve in National Health Service hospitals. The report found nurses often place trays out of the reach of patients or do not give them needed help cutting food or opening plates and other containers. The charity also says that staff take away untouched food trays without asking any questions.
