The author discusses discrimination against disabled persons in Great Britain, with particular focus on abuses in the health and social care sectors. He notes a 2007 report of deaths of patients with learning disabilities in National Health Service (NHS) hospitals due to negligence by nurses, healthcare assistants (HCAs), or physicians. He argues that nurses and other health care providers have the responsibility to help end discrimination and the disabled and their carers.
