As it is now?  A 2003 ‘delayed discharge' case study of a woman with a learning disability

This case study outlines our concerns about custom and practice at the interface of health and social care in Wales. It poses questions about clinical hegemony, the power of professionals undertaking multi-disciplinary/ integrated working, unified assessments, the significance of issues around confidentiality when assessing vulnerable adults, the experiences of vulnerable people in secondary care, and the disproportionate influence of people who did not know Bron Davies well.

A year of failure.......the story of Derek Parker

This is the story of his family’s concerns about the care of their loved one. It is about the Care and Social Services Inspectorate for Wales, the Vale of Glamorgan Adult Protection service,  and the Commissioner for Older People in Wales.  More than twelve months ago his family raised concerns about his care. And twelve months ago Action on Elder Abuse did likewise on behalf of Derek and his family. And today, many of those concerns remain outstanding. Derek  died in November 2008. But his experiences - good and bad - live on.

It’s a combination of provider greed and an inadequate, inept regulatory system".
