Lack of healthcare support ‘failing’ those living with cerebral palsy
Показать описание
A number of Scots with cerebral palsy have said they feel ‘forgotten about’.
It’s a life-long disability from birth, but some of those transitioning to adult services say they are not getting the same level of support.
A charity wants the Scottish Government to give adults with the condition the right to a specialist annual review.
Brett Love, from Dundee, has diplegic cerebral palsy. He’s unable to walk and has challenges with his sight and hearing.
It is down to the 20-year-old’s mother, Janis, to provide around-the-clock care.
“I didn’t really realise there wouldn’t be any other form of help for him – as in other services,” she told STV News.
“He’s always required help. Certainly when he was younger he was lighter. For myself it’s a daily challenge. Brett needs everything done for him from the minute he wakes up.”
