The wife of a pensioner suffering from dementia and Parkinson’s Disease says her husband has been ‘left to rot’ in a Lanarkshire hospital because the local council can't offer him a home care package.
Archie Finlayson, 79, was admitted to Udston Hospital in Hamilton on March 24, on a 28-day hold as doctors believed it was in his best interest to receive short-term psychiatric care.
Medics were happy with his improvement and Archie was due to be discharged on June 13 so he could return home to Carstairs, where he lives with wife Roberta, 78.
