My mother had to be in a nursing home for 2 years before she died. we got her into the best one in our small town, yet I began to realize that the staff intrusted with her daily care (not medical) were people with no education, many of them hopped from job to job because we saw them all over town....most of these staff had very little training and were limited on people needs and care.....there was exceptions of course but not many. Many of the staff I saw passing through and talked to myself were school dropouts, young parents, been in trouble, and had little idea the weight of their responsibility....most did not care, it was just a job and they were paid minimum wage with no benefits.....
better screening, better training and closer supervision and higher wages can make a difference.

Tony Blair appears to have the earmarks of a good leader: He acknowledges his mistakes and makes appropriate adjustments. It is too bad that he let association with George Bush destroy his political career.
