Norovirus outbreaks increasing in England yet Conservatives push on with ending lock down. People with learning disabilities will be, once again, expendable. @LearningDisEng @LDEselfadvocate @LDTonline @LdSenate @LDChangingCare @RightfulLives gov.uk/government/news/norov…

Great article by @Saba_Salman, citing @chrishattoncedr’s research finding that almost 40,000 learning disabled people remain unvaccinated, possibly due to health risks, needle phobia or lack of information theguardian.com/commentisfre…

For people with learning disabilities, ‘freedom day’ was nothing of the kind | Saba Salman

My sister is eight times more likely to die of Covid. Yet so little thought has been given to her welfare, says Saba Salman, chair of the charity Sibs

So many people in the NHS are not aware of the legal frame work- Accessible information standards, by law you have to provide reasonable adjustments to your patients. More training and awareness is needed. bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ire…

21 years ago this summer I nearly died by suicide because I knew I’d never be happy again. Today I put away the dishes then stood in the garden and let summer rain soak me to my skin. I felt so alive and quietly euphoric I wanted to reach back through time to tell me I was wrong.

It seems to me that the real priority here is the calling for learning disabled people's health to improve, not the actual improvement of learning disabled people's health. Otherwise, why the endless calls for action and very little actual action? bbc.com/news/health-57431243

Call for urgent action to prevent learning disability deaths

This group is experiencing huge inequalities and often dying from avoidable causes, a report says.

The vigil isn’t for the journalists. It’s for everyone who has been abused in these places over the years, it’s to challenge the broken promises and the endless reviews and reports that have done nothing to make change happen.
