Minister Speaks Out On Cornwall Learning Disabilities Abuse
Care Services Minister Ivan Lewis said:
“I am appalled that the vulnerable people living in this facility in Cornwall have been abused by those who were supposed to protect and care for them. Abuse of vulnerable people in any setting is simply unacceptable. With the help of an external team we appointed with the SHA in October 2005, the local NHS and county council have already taken steps to ensure that the people involved are now safe.
