Dear List,
Do any of you know of organisations, support groups or similar who are
pursuing disability discrimination claims against the Health services
for issues surrounding non-rescusitation or refusal of treatment? I've
been approached by a member of the public here with such a request
following the death of her sister who had spina-bifida. I can't go into
details about the case too much as they are still in a conflict
situation with the hospital and medical fraternity.
I am currently about to contact the DRC regarding the issue but would
really appreciate any other information that I can pass on to the
individual.
I am happy for replies off list but will only be able to respond in
general terms regarding specifics.
Regards,
Rob
