A hospital has apologised to the family of a dementia patient who was "left for hours in his own urine and faeces".
Khawaja Anwar, 82, was admitted to the Royal Liverpool University Hospital on 3 February after a fall in which he broke two bones in his pelvis. His family complained over Mr Anwar's "unacceptable" lack of care and said he was "humiliated" by some carers. The hospital said "patient care is our top priority" and is investigating. Mr Anwar's wife Nargis made a formal complaint to the hospital after she noticed the conditions her husband had to sleep in. Speaking to the BBC Nargis said: "The physio came and started to help him to move him so he could sit on the edge of the before standing him up. Mr Anwar's son, Aamer, told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that the standard of care given to his father was "simply unacceptable".
