Covid patients with mental illness and learning disabilities ‘given do not resuscitate orders’ during pandemic

Sonia Deleon, who was in a care home, was given three DNARs - with one listing her learning disability and schizophrenia as reasons for the decision, her family said. The hospital trust says the order had been agreed with Ms Deleon's family, but her sister Sally-Rose Cyrille contests this."It’s like they were saying, ‘she’s got a learning disability, why are we even bothering?’."
