In my open this article is an awful read as no person with learning disabilities i.e. hidden disabilities or Neurodivers should been treated as case of no resuscitate, you have to wonder way this taken place under management Matthew Hancock who denies any accountability or responsibility to these poor unacceptable failings.

Which we all witness yesterday in the enquiry. Which took place on a number of occasions, my question is are we passing  our responsibility of funding for special Educational?

In the UK currently, there are over 4,000 Covid-19 patients in mechanical ventilation beds, the highest number seen so far in this pandemic.

As choices of available care become more limited, there is a risk that resources will not meet all patients’ clinical needs. This could lead, in a worst-case scenario, to doctors having to face challenging decisions on prioritisation of intensive care unit (ICU) places and mechanical ventilation.

A key question that emerged from the first wave of the pandemic was whether hospitals should consider a person’s ‘do not resuscitate’ (DNR) status to make decisions about ventilator allocation. This was because some existing and proposed guidelines for triage during a public health emergency put DNR status in the list of criteria for excluding patients from getting ventilators or other life-saving health care.

Another question was whether blanket DNRs should be given to groups of people in which resuscitation was considered futile or harmful such as patients who score poorly on frailty assessments.
