Bereaved families of people with learning disabilities have told ITV News they believe their children died due to failures in NHS learning disability care.
The official hospital report into Adrian’s death found that a lack of nutrition contributed to his death, and recommended education across the Trust on learning disability specialist care.
“The Learning Disability nursing workforce has declined by 43% since records began in 2009,” the letter reads.

I’m just completely devastated and shocked.”There is no doubt in Jackie and Ian’s minds that Louis died simply because he had Down’s Syndrome.
