NHS stripped ex-footballer of dignity, say family
The family of former footballer Colin Flatt has accused the NHS of stripping him of his dignity in the final months of his life. A new report has revealed failings in Flatt's care, which led to a loss of his dignity. Flatt, who played for several clubs in the 1970s and 80s, suffered from dementia and was residing in a care home when he passed away in 2020 at the age of 67. The report highlights the lack of coordination between healthcare providers, which resulted in Flatt's needs not being adequately addressed. The family has expressed their disappointment with the NHS, stating that Flatt's final days were marked by a lack of compassion and respect. They hope that the report will lead to improvements in the care of individuals with dementia, ensuring that their dignity is maintained throughout their final stages of life.
