[A neglected area; theses reports missing in MSM. Need Independent Ombudsman] Aged Care - More allege assault. Only two unannounced site visits took place in NSW, which received 1280 complaints, while Queensland received 60 for fewer than 800 complaints. Ms Crowe said the complaints scheme should be made independent of government, and mandatory staff-to-resident ratios should be implemented nationwide. Bentleys National Aged Care Survey showed profitability for the aged care sector was up 160 per cent in 2014, with expenditure savings partly due to a reduction in staff hours per fortnight of 5.7 per cent for both care and support staff. They also come as the NSW Government considers whether to allow providers greater leniency over whether to have a registered nurse on duty at all times in high-care nursing homes. “The other real worry is that the public is not allowed to see the reports from those visits because it is called protected information.” thesenior.au/News/The-Senior-News/assault
