A care home manager has been ordered to pay £2,511 for failing to provide safe care and treatment to a resident. The registered manager was hauled before Manchester Magistrates’ Court, following a prosecution by the health watchdog, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), for failing to provide safe care and treatment to a resident at Oakbank Care Home.
Parminder Kaur, the registered manager of Oakbank Care Home, pleaded guilty to failing to provide safe care and treatment to a resident, thereby exposing the man to a significant risk of avoidable harm, says the CQC.
The man was admitted to Oakbank Care Home, on Rochdale Road in north Manchester, on December 24, 2019, and was noted as being at high risk of falls and could only walk short distances with a walking stick and under supervision. He deteriorated and was experiencing signs of confusion, according to the watchdog.

The man suffered several falls during his admission at Oakbank, said the CQC. On the advice of his GP, in order to rule out a head injury, he was admitted to North Manchester General Hospital on January 24, 2020. Four days later, on January 28, 2020, the man sadly passed away.

NME following the city’s inaugural Beyond the Music conference about how he hopes it will “galvanise” the music industry as issues affecting the industry fall on “deaf ears” at Westminster.Last month’s Beyond the Music explored multiple crises the music industry is currently facing, such as the future of grassroots venues and the continuing impact of Brexit on UK musicians struggling to tour Europe.On the latter, Burnham said “it’s just wrong” that the careers of young musicians are still suffering as they continue to face difficulties touring Europe post-Brexit.At the conference in October, Burnham discussed the “ridiculous” Brexit rules for artists travelling around Europe. Back in 2021, the UK music industry spoke out on how they had essentially been handed a “No Deal Brexit” when the government failed to negotiate visa-free travel and Europe-wide work permits for musicians and crew.Despite trying to raise these issues with ministers, Burnham told NME it’s still falling on “deaf ears” as the government continues to ignore the chaos Brexit has caused as artists struggle to navigate “all kinds of hidden obstacles” to performing in Europe.“It’s so frustrating, particularly given that Europe offered a better arrangement and in the rhetoric of Brexit, it got turned down,” he explained, referring to Boris Johnson’s rejection of a deal for artists proposed by Europe.
