3:18Now PlayingEngland’s care regulator, the Care Quality Commission, is raising serious concerns about the use of Do Not Resuscitate orders during the pandemic.
Families and charities say the orders, which can deny people potentially life-saving care, have been wrongly placed on elderly and disabled people over the past year at unprecedented rates.
An interim report from the Commission last year found concerns over at least 40 orders between March and September, up from just 9 in the preceding 6 months.
Huw Edwards presents BBC News at Ten reporting by social affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan.
