A Belfast care worker who pushed a trolley into an elderly dementia patient and told him to “get out of the f*****g way” has been barred from the profession.

Disgraced ex-care assistant Patrick Edward Duffy received a suspended jail sentence last September over an incident at the Orchardville House care home where colleagues witnessed him pushing a supply trolley into the male resident.
