A serious question for commissioners and the @CareQualityComm

Why is @StAndrewsCare still allowed to operate badly managed, unsafe, understaffed and with people receiving care treated so badly?

We think they got away with murder, there’s no other way I can explain it https://t.co/NBYo2p2ZZ2

I'm rarely shocked these days, last week I spoke to Carol Shannon about her son Mark. I was dumb struck by some of what she told me, not at what happened, but at what didn’t happen.

So disgusting. If you want a taste of the kind of business driven health & social care this govt seems to be heading for, read on. Feel so sorry for these people and their families. This has to stop #Right2Home https://t.co/cR4bUjwgs6

Many disabled people are not getting the support they need to live independently.

Today I asked @DHSCgovuk minister @Helen_Whately when the long-awaited National Strategy for Disabled People will finally make an appearance…yet again no date was forthcoming!!

No flexi season ticket available to purchase on your website or app @greateranglia? Can't find it if it's there, please advise me!

[Marsh Stitchman @MStitchman]

This has been going on for years! Luckily some support providers like @LewishamNexus support people to be out as late as they want to. We need more like them @StayUpLateUK Adults with learning disabilities should be able to go out and stay up late | Letter https://t.co/iZz85Je9VG

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

My work largely argues for material conditions for disabled people because the state leaves many without even food or care. But true liberation for disabled people will come with PLEASURE. When society believes we want and deserve music, mates, wine, careers like anyone else.
