More people locked up in modern day asylums during lockdown: Mencap calls for cross-government strategy to drive change needed to transform social care
https://www.mencap.org.uk/press-release ... government"While the Government has previously announced funding to enhance support in the community to help avoid admissions and increase discharges, this month a new £33m unit in a remote location for 40 people with a learning disability and/or autism was approved. The Government should not be investing more money into the wrong type of care. What we urgently need is delivery of the cross-government strategy to drive forward the change required to truly transform social care.”
