Head in hands at reading that NHS Digital saw fit to use the term "mental retardation" in relation to people with learning disabilities last week.
Ciara Lawrence who works at Mencap said it “describes people like me as a second-class citizen, with no value to society. It’s insulting, and truly shocks me.”
During the pandemic, I sat round a virtual government table with Ciara and a host of Cabinet Office communications leads, as they sought to get messaging out about Covid to Disabled people.
