telegraph.co.uk on February 07, 2012 reported that Mary Pemberton, 57, cut the plaits, which reached to the elderly woman's lower back, to a short shoulder length bob. The incident occurred just a day after the patient with dementia was admitted to the Bamford Grange Care home in Stockport, Greater Manchester in March 2010. Care records for the patient specifically stated her hair could not be cut, the Nursing and Midwifery Council heard. Giving evidence, investigation officer Jascinta Lowton told the hearing she was told to look into the matter after the woman's son emailed to complaint. "The complaint was made by resident A's son, who said that she had had a long plat, which went down her back went he left her, and that now she had a bob," she said.
