“'The decline in learning disability nursing is a deeply concerning trend that risks leaving people with a learning disability without access to the specialist care and support they need. Learning disability nurses are indispensable to tackling health inequalities.'”
What Jackie O'Sullivan has said
“Yesterday's Work and Pensions Committee report sets out a number of welcome recommendations which the government should accept immediately to support people with the cost of living crisis.
