Verbatim
“It was shocking to see how continuity crumbles and vulnerable young people are forced to battle for the support they need”
“The evidence shows that young people who have the most complex physical and mental health needs are routinely let down by poor coordination and planning from the numerous services they rely on.”
“Retaining the GMC's health category has been a vital thread of this work. Illness is not misconduct, and doctors who are struggling with health issues must be properly supported, not driven out.”
