Fears vulnerable patients left with 'nowhere to turn' by pending closure of failing autism and mental health service
Fears have been raised that vulnerable patients have been left with ‘nowhere to turn’ by the pending closure of a failing autism and mental health service. Its contract ends in March.
The situation has left Wayne, from Prestwich, deeply frustrated - particularly as LANCuk indicated it was waiting for new arrangements to be made before notifying patients of the pending change. The 50-year-old, who has ADHD and is also a LANCuk patient, said he made his feelings known to the service.
Wayne explains that people with conditions such as autism or severe anxiety struggle to cope with change, unless it is professionally managed and they have time to adjust. And he worries that the delay in notifying patients could come as a ‘bombshell’ to many.
