Learning Disabilities Mortality Review

Stephen Lloyd Excerpts

Tuesday 8th May 2018 Commons Chamber

[Caroline Dinenage]

This is an important aspect, and I will get in touch with the hon. Lady with a more detailed answer to her question.

[Stephen Lloyd (Eastbourne) (LD)]

This is a shocking report, and its conclusions demean us all. A lot of people on both sides of the Chamber have asked the Minister and her Department to come up with some actions. Rather than just talking about it, will she commit today to coming back to the House with a specific action plan to prevent and change what has been an absolutely shocking situation for many decades?

[Caroline Dinenage]

The hon. Gentleman is right to say that this has been a shocking situation for many decades, which is exactly why this report was commissioned so that we can learn from past errors and identify how to stop them ever happening again. There are nine recommendations in this report, and we will work with NHS England on how to adopt every single one of them.

[Stephen Lloyd]

Will you bring it back to the House?

[Caroline Dinenage]

Of course.
