1/Children & young people with autism and learning disabilities who could be living in the community with specialist support are languishing for years in Assessment & Treatment Units, some of them locked up 24/7 in isolation rooms, bec of severe financial pressure on Local Auths
2/ At the same time, private providers running these ATUs are raking in profits, being paid £452m per yr in what has become a market driven provision where autistic and LD people are little more than commodities
3/ This in spite of the fact that caring for them in the community would be far less expensive not to mention far better for the individuals concerned, their quality of life, their security and safety and their wellbeing
Very strange day with @SODEMAction
Outside westminister.
Met 30 unite in community people who were very corbynista.
Talked to 3 none of whom were interested in brexit impact on benefits or universal credit.
Quite dispiriting the lack of basic knowledge.

Very adamant response saying you dont understand how cuts are affecting people with disabilities and carers. Brexit is not important to us. We have faith in @Keir_Starmer to sort brexit otherwise corbyn would not have put him in that position.
How do we reach them.

5th July 2018 will be the 70th birthday of our beloved #NHS.
This THREAD argues that it is in severe danger under this #Toryshambles government, with #Brexit posing an imminent & particularly invidious threat.
To #SaveOurNHS we must work tirelessly together to #StopBrexit.

1/ Today's devolved #NHS is a complex federation of tens of 000s of orgs employing some 1.7m workers. It's combined annual budget is just shy of £150bn. It handles, overwhelmingly successfully, almost a million patients daily.
With each box maybe 000s of orgs, & England only:

2/ Unresolved public health issues & a fast-expanding multi-morbid elderly population, coupled with chronic underfunding & the blowback from the butchery of social care since 2010 means the #NHS is pressured as never before.
