First Sight: Home Truths

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Grace Huxstep died four months after moving into a private nursing home.
Her family accused the home of "total medical neglect" when maggots were found in sores on the 73-year-old woman's legs. Now her granddaughter Julia is trying to discover the truth about her grandmother's death. With the adequacy of Health Service checks on private nursing homes now in question, Jackie Spreckley asks whether the shift to the private sector puts elderly people at risk.

A phone-in discussion on the issues raised in First Sight will follow immediately on BBC Radios Berkshire, Kent, Oxford and GLR. To take part call [number removed] after the programme.
(Repeated next Tuesday)
