患病的人往往是社会上最脆弱的群体。他们经常依赖有爱心和有能力的医疗保健专业人员，他们应该也确实期望有一个安全和有爱心的环境。在最近一次意想不到的医疗保健系统的冒险中，与医疗保健提供相关的组织、专业、关怀和同情心非常短缺。缺乏基本尊严和人性是最令人担忧的缺陷之一。国家保健服务的任何形式的非人化导致不安全、无尊严和有辱人格的待遇，不仅侵犯了病人和客户的人权，而且不应被接受或作为经济压力的副产品而加以原谅。
People who are sick are often the most vulnerable in society. They frequently rely on caring and competent healthcare professionals and should and do have expectations of a safe and caring environment. In a recent unexpected adventure through the healthcare system, the organisation, professionalism, caring and compassion associated with healthcare provision were in very short supply. A lack of basic dignity and humanity were among the most concerning deficits. Any form of dehumanisation of the national health service that leads to unsafe, undignified and degrading treatment not only infringes patients' and clients' human rights but should not be acceptable or excused as a by-product of economic pressures.
