David Cameron announced last night that nurses, doctors and managers who mistreat or neglect their patients will face sentence up to five years under a major law change. The punishment of five years punishment is aimed to set deterrence for those who deliberately mistreat patients.

A new criminal sanction for `wilful neglect' will be introduced by the government. Well, this is in good deeds to cover any staff suspected of abusing or mistreating patients in their care.

Don Berwick had compiled a report on appalling condition at the Mid Staffordshire. The report recommended taking some sort of actions over careless professionals at healthcare sector.

Mr. Cameron said last night, "This is not about a hospital worker who makes a mistake, but specific cases where a patient has been neglected or ill-treated. He added that the law will make it crystal clear for everyone in the healthcare sector that negligence is unacceptable and subject to punishment".

The details about the law enforcement will be announced by Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt in the Commons on Tuesday. It is part of the Government's response to the Francis Report into events at Mid Staffordshire. It is believed that hundreds of patients died unnecessarily between 2005 and 2009 at Mid Staffordshire from the diseases that could have been easily cured.
