Caring for the elderly and Chinese investment in UK essential services
How do we improve the standard of care given to our elderly in care homes? And as the Chinese are encouraged to take a stake in key UK companies, how welcoming should we be?
A coroner has ruled that neglect contributed to deaths of 5 residents at a West Sussex care home, described as being riddled with "institutionalised abuse". How do we ensure our elderly are better cared for in future?
And after George Osborne's agreement that Chinese companies can take a stake in British nuclear power plants, how welcoming should we be of foreign investment in essential services like energy supply?
