NHS 'unable to treat and look after' people with learning disabilities, says care commission chair
The NHS is failing people with learning disabilities and hospitals are “unable to sufficiently treat and look after” them, says Baroness Louise Casey, the head of the government’s commission into adult social care, as ITV News Investigations Editor @DanielHewittITV reports

What is the rationale behind removing it? Surely the scrutiny of each death via the LeDeR process, is to prevent futher unnecessary deaths by learning from previous deaths?
Kate Sanger retweeted
If there is no LeDeR learning, then how can progress be made towards equality in healthcare outcomes for people who are autistic and those with LDs? @andyburnham I was almost an LeDeR statistic in M/CR whilst you were Mayor. This undermines the tireless work of @PaulaMc007 .

@andyburnham @YvetteCooperMP can you explain why you are disbanding LeDeR Learning from lives and deaths review into the avoidable deaths of people with a learning disability & autistic people
It is essential that we learn & progress from @AliveLeder findings

The reality of Scotland’s waiting time scandal. Politicians spin the figures but I waited10 years in agony for a new knee. I finally made it to the NHS Golden Jubilee Hospital in Clydebank. Treatment was phenomenal. But nobody should have to wait that long sundaypost.com/fp/new-knee-w…

Restrictive practices remain inherently coercive and are often applied as punitive measures rather than a measure of a last resort.
Stop protecting a culture of silence and stand up for children who cannot speak up for themselves.
