This book is designed for everyone involved in supporting people with learning disabilities or planning services for them. It tells the story of the appalling conditions endured by people in long-stay hospitals in the past decades. It outlines the efforts that have been made to end this practice and give those people the chance of a fuller life. This book is written from the perspective of people who were there, both patients and staff, and provides a critical account of the work done to improve the situation.
