What a sad and depressing read, one the government should be ashamed of. This needs to be publicised widely so that the truth is out there for all to see. The time is overdue now for those in power to speak out for those who have no voice in parliament, we cannot accept this any longer and call ourselves a civilised society, people have allowed this to happen and until it affects them or someone they love they will never know of the true misery and neglect that the disabled and vulnerable suffer.
