A nurse working at a scandal-hit nursing home where the elderly were neglected has been criticised by a coroner for not caring about the residents.
Philip McCaffrey rejected the assertion and said he “cared sincerely and genuinely” for all the residents at the Brithdir home in south Wales.
An inquest in Newport, Gwent, is hearing evidence into the deaths of seven residents of the care home between 2003 and 2005, some of whom suffered from dehydration, malnourishment and pressure sores.
Mr McCaffrey worked as a nurse at Brithdir from June 2005 to January 2006, after a long career in health service management.
