AnnotationLong-stay hospitals for people with learning difficulties are being closed. The author asks whether the trend towards private provision for this group represents a return to institutional care. The idea of closing long-stay hospitals in the first place was to ensure that people with learning difficulties would be offered a better quality of care and a more fulfilling life. (RH).
