Portsmouth hospital 'fed patients pills in ice cream'

Portsmouth hospital 'fed patients pills in ice cream' Hospital staff secretly fed pills to patients by hiding them in their meals and in ice cream, the health watchdog has found.

Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth has been given a formal warning by the Care Quality Commission over its "very poor care".

In a separate incident, inspectors had to intervene and help a choking patient when two staff members failed to act.

The hospital said it was confident it would be able to improve.

Inspectors, who visited in February, rated medical care at the hospital as "inadequate". BBC News
