#Oliverscampaign We were pressured to turn Oliver’s life support off Drs told us he wouldn't breathe for himself He breathed very well When that didn't work they put pressure on us to allow fluid to build up in his brain which would kill him quicker bbc.com/news/articles/…

#Oliverscampaign There can be no more excuses. ICBs and organisations must make their patients with a learning disability & autistic individuals a priority The training will be backed by funding. healthcareleadernews.com/news/training-…
