Very sad news story about a young woman 'trapped' in my own local general hospital, Queen Alex.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65531686

The government says its ambition is to halve the number of autistic people and those with a learning disability in mental health hospitals by March 2024. A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson added that this is backed by extra funding and "our action plan to improve community support and reduce over-reliance on mental health hospitals".

    The only way forward is to separate Autism from Mental Health.

    Too much bureaucracy, which ultimately killed the NHS. It should be dealt with by voluntary organisations. The State is indebted up the eyeballs.
