Commenting on the Healthcare Commission report on Sutton and Merton Primary Care Trust's service to people with a learning disability, Liberal Democrat Health Spokesperson, Sandra Gidley MP said:
A British disability charity is trying to ensure that an "Ashley X case" could not happen to a child in the UK. Ashley is the American child who has been medically "frozen in time" to stop her body developing to adult size.
A health trust has been heavily criticised for "institutional abuse" of people with learning disabilities. The Healthcare Commission, which carried out the review at Sutton and Merton Primary Care Trust (PCT), said care was "simply not acceptable". It is the second report in six months to highlight neglect of people with learning difficulties.
