to do, and it is required by law.
Patients and their families have the right to be
treated fairly and be routinely involved in decisions about their treatment
and care. They can expect to be treated with dignity and respect and will not
be discriminated against on any grounds including age, disability, gender
reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race,
