Hugo de Savary's – living with learning disabilities.

What a relief to see that Winterbourne View, the hospital featured in the Panorama investigation is closing today.  There is plenty of discussion about whether these sort of private hospitals are appropriate in today’s society. Leading figures in Learning Disabilities have lent their names in a petition to the prime minister to end these placements – as the “model is wrong and does not work”. David Brindle of the Guardian has written a piece which is both informative and constructive.
