The Ombudsman (a U.K. body which deals with complaints against public services) has published its report into the death of six people with learning disabilities who were being 'looked after' by health and local-authority services at the time.

The report follows a similar one from the learning-disability charity Mencap - Death by Indifference - which highlighted an 'appalling catalogue of neglect of people with a learning disability.'
