Three care workers have been implicated in a conspiracy to cover up a Weston nursing home patient's injury, which later led to his death.

A jury's heard how Colin Lewis, a seventy-five year old bed-ridden dementia sufferer, fell out of bed while his sheets were being changed, bruising his head and breaking his hip.

But two care assistants were allegedly told by a senior nurse to say he simply banged his head, and he was not admitted to Weston General Hospital for eight days for treatment on his hip, and died from complications relating to his injuries.
