Joint Statement from the Oxfordshire Transforming Care Partnership Board: Review into the deaths of people with learning disabilities 2017-18

July 2, 2018 By OxFSN Webmaster

Joint Statement from the Oxfordshire Transforming Care Partnership Board:
Oxfordshire review into the deaths of people with learning disabilities 2017-18

Statement from the co-chairs of Oxfordshire’s Transforming Care Partnership Board

“While we have known for many years that people with learning disabilities die earlier than the general population, the Learning Disability Mortality Review report made for grim reading and was deeply upsetting.

As co-chairs of Oxfordshire’s Transforming Care Partnership Board we feel it is important that we make public the work that is being done locally to explain how deaths of people with learning disabilities are investigated in our county. Despite the lower numbers of deaths reviewed, it is clear that there is still much work to be done to address these inequalities. We are however pleased that all deaths are now being reviewed in such detail. We welcome the recommendations contained in this report and the spirit of transparency and openness in which it has been shared.“

Gail Hanrahan (Oxfordshire Family Support Network) and Paul Scarrott (My Life My Choice)
