If you think disabled people, especially those with learning difficulties get the same treatment as anyone else in the U.K., you’re wrong. Imagine how a young person can starve to death in a hospital.
Today is Laura Booth's 30th birthday, her parents have sent mugs out so people can raise a mug in her memory at 7pm.

Laura was just 21 when she went into hospital for a routine eye operation. She never got the surgery, less than a month later she died #DeathByIndifference #LearningDisability

@francescaribenfors.bsky.social starts our final session on families and social care at #seattleclub. She is talking about her research exploring families’ experiences of inquests when their family member who died was autistic, had learning disabilities and/or mental ill health.
