Woman, 29, unable to wash or dress herself left housebound due to shortage of carers

A 29-year-old woman has been marooned at home and can't dress or wash herself because of a care crisis.

Rebekah Ninnis was visited once a day by carers, but her arrangement ended and so she now is reliant on her mum Moira, who works full-time as a community carer.

Rebekah is a former carer, and suffers from functional neurological disorder (FND), a medical condition in which there is a problem with the functioning of the nervous system, and how the body and brain send and/or receive signals.
