The owner of a scandal-hit nursing home where seven residents died after suffering poor care was rude and confrontational with watchdog inspectors, an inquest has heard.
Dr Prana Das was “very rude and offensive” and the social care inspectors ended the meeting because he was becoming even more “angry, unreasonable, and confrontational”.
An inquest in Newport is hearing evidence on the deaths of seven elderly residents at the Brithdir nursing home between 2003 and 2005. Some of them had suffered dehydration, malnourishment, and pressure sores.
