Maintain pressure on reforms to protect NHSNHS personal care 'must improve'
Personal care needs to improve dramatically before the healthcare service becomes 'world class', according to the government's health watchdog.

Sir Kennedy said that despite obvious improvements in the last year, care 'is not as good as it should be'.
