In 1977, Barbara CastleWho was the Minister of Health until the previous year, was the guest of honor at the opening of the Field End House, a children’s house at the old Liverpool Road Hospital in Isington, north of London. I walked directly via the renewed personal line to congratulate Jean Wilson And others who carried out campaigns for that. I knew.
In those days, more than 500 young men with learning difficulties lived away from their families in hospitals and care houses. The Liverpool road was at the beginning of a movement that led to the closure of long hospitals.
As head of the Community Health Council officials at the time, I have never forgotten what he was negotiator and an effective hero Jean Wilson.
