I recently poste comment on my blog about Pers Bolduc, an Autistic man being held in Broadmoor. His mother just added this comment.I am very grateful to you for hilighting my son Piers case. The general public need to know what is really going on in the mental health system at secure and high units for those with Asperger Syndrome. For those who listened to the BBC RADIO 4 YOU & YOURS programme on Thurs 13th September, you will have heard that my son lasted 7 weeks at the Hayes unit and then returned to Broadmoor were he has been ever since….13 years in total. He was not prepared properly by Broadmoor for the move. They just don't have the staff. Since his return to Broadmoor he was on a waiting list for TWO YEARS to be allocated a psychologist to help prepare him for the next move. When allocated one, the guy,a nice chap, but was on work experience from University and had never met anyone with Aspergers before! He returns to Uni in October….then what? As for trips out which have been scheduled since last November: not one has taken place. Again no staff to implement them. SO, the problem is twofold: 1. No preparation to cope beyond Broadmoor and 2. No suitable places exist to move on to. Wherever he eventually moves to, it will be a compromise. Rosie Winterton, when health Minister, gave Broadmoor £190 MILLION pounds to modernise. What was the first thing they did? Build another fence costing £10Million arond the hospital! I have suggested they allocate some of those millions in investing, longterm, for staff and training. You can listen again to the BBC RADIO 4 YOU & YOURS programme by going to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/youandyours/items/02/2007_37_thu.shtml Thank you for your support. We have to keep up the pressure not just to help Piers but for all those in need of help, support and facilities.Comment by Cris Bolduc | September 23, 2007 | Given our focus on adults this year I would hope that we can take up Piers' case and work with Cris to highlight this injustice.Mike Stanton__._,_.___
