CNHS – North East was set up on Friday 3 June by Fiona Bell. She was driven by the sheer numbers of people contacting her after the media coverage of her grandfather’s inquest; a narrative verdict Friday 13 May 2011 after a 2 year wait. Her grandfather had 17 falls in hospital, 11 documented in IR1 forms and 6 in his patient notes. Substantial cuts and bruises, sub-standard care, brain haemorrhages due to falls, MRSA and Hospital Acquired Pneumonia. The final act of cruelty was being asked to pick a corner where he could die. At first after the media attention Fiona wanted to walk away and forget, but then received a call from a lady whose father was in the same hospital going through the same thing. At that point she knew she could never walk away. It was too late for her granddad but never too late for other vulnerable people. The stories mounted up and by Friday 10 June CNHS North East had 1,000 members. Fiona's quote is that “The proof in the quality of care is with the people that access those care services” Sadly some of those are vulnerable people whom never get chance to voice their concerns because they have no one to do it for them.
