Fresh allegations of neglect in aged care 'disappointing but not surprising'
Labor MP Josh Burns says fresh allegations of neglect in aged care are “really disappointing but not that surprising”. Fresh claims surfaced today alleging residents in Victoria’s aged care system were starved, unwashed and left in soiled sheets. “It’s really disturbing to hear some of those stories coming out of aged care providers… unfortunately this is something that’s really disappointing but not that surprising,” he told Sky News. “We’ve known for a long time that the care in many of our aged care services is inadequate, and that’s why the Prime Minister himself in 2018 called the Aged Care Royal Commission. “These are long systemic issues in our aged care services that fall under the responsibility of the federal government. “I think the warning signs have been there and I think the federal government has known for a while that more action needs to be taken to support our aged care workers, the staff who are in many cases completely overrun and underpaid.” Mr Burns said the aged care system was long plagued by inadequate care, services and training. “Instead of getting lost in the pointing of the finger saga, we need to make sure that we fix this and fix it quickly,” he said.
