A new law has been passed following a lengthy campaign in memory of a Bristol teenager who died at Southmead Hospital. The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training in Learning Disability and Autism (OMMT) has officially passed into law as part of the Health and Care Act 2022.
This comes after government support to legislate training across the health and care sectors to provide better care for people with learning disabilities and autism.
In March this year, Baroness Sheila Hollins put forward the amendment to the Health and Care Bill in the House of Lords which was well-received by Peers and the government, according to Care Talk Business.
