I owe most of the words on these pages to the many learning disabled men and women (and their parents and carers) who became part of my life for a year or so and I wish to thank them for inviting a strange woman into their homes and divulging some of their most personal stories and memories. I enjoyed every minute of my data collection – after all it seemed so far away at one point – and none more so than the time spent with Inform Theatre Group. If only all people were so accepting, honest, funny and welcoming; you never made me feel that I wasn’t a valued member of the group and I guess that is why you are so successful at what you do. Long may it continue. Thanks must also be given to Professor Chris Philo, without your scattered annotations and keen eye for a split- infinitive I may never have gotten to this final point. In fact, I would never have embarked upon a PhD at all were it not for you, although I’m still largely at a loss as to why you ever thought I could do this Dr thing. I guess you do know best! To the other half of my supervision team, Professor Sally-Anne Cooper, thank you for accepting my work openly, even when things got a little too ‘geography’. In an Edinburgh hotel we sat together awaiting a grilling from the ethics panel, you reminded me that knowledge does not need to be gained all at once, but can be learned over time. You may not remember these words but they have stuck with me. To both of you, I apologise for getting pregnant three quarters of the way through a PhD but I have, finally, achieved the ‘double delivery’! To my parents, who always believe that I’m more than I am; I love you. Finally, to my boys, some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am, big and stronger too, but none of them will ever love you the way I do, it’s me and you boys. Thank you to my favourite deputy who has put up with it all…even if you still have no idea what it is that I do all day. ii Declaration I declare that this thesis is the result of my own work, except where explicit reference is made to the work of others.

SCLD The Scottish Commission for Learning Disability SLDO The Scottish Learning Disability Observatory R&D Research and Development LDLT Learning Disability Liaison Team vi Abstract Most adults are able to take some control over where they live and are able to reflect on their migration histories, those places where they have lived and worked, and those places where they might aspire to live in the future. These life altering decisions have been negotiated either autonomously or in conjunction with significant others in their lives. For some adults, most notably those with learning disabilities, these life decisions are partially, if not wholly, made for them by others. It is therefore the aim of this thesis to uncover more about the decision-making opportunities afforded to people with learning disabilities regarding their home-spaces as they navigate ‘moving landscapes’ which they have perhaps not envisaged for themselves. Through the themes of decision-making, movement and belonging, this thesis works towards an up-close and in-depth study of residential spaces for people with learning disabilities as they traverse landscapes not always suited to their physical, mental and political needs. vii Ronald McClelland (2015) Home Chapter 1 Introduction Most adults are able to take some control over where they live, to make decisions over where exactly they dwell and, as a consequence, to reflect on their migration histories. The mere mention of home can inspire vivid accounts of those places where they have lived and worked, or not (Hall, 2004), the reasons behind their moves or non- moves, and maybe even including those places where they might aspire to live, work and belong in the future. These life-altering decisions have been negotiated either autonomously or in conjunction with significant others in their lives. For some adults, however, most notably those with learning disabilities, these life decisions are partially, if not wholly, made on their behalf. It is therefore the aim of this thesis to uncover more about the decision- making opportunities afforded to people with learning disabilities regarding their home-spaces as they navigate ‘moving landscapes’ which they have perhaps not envisaged for themselves. Historically, people with learning disabilities (PWLD) have had few opportunities to contribute to decision-making, especially regarding where they live. Their residential movements have been entangled within medically imbued political frameworks, which sought first to remove PWLD from the corpus of society, then to (re)place them within communities arguably not suited to their needs (discussed in more detail in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3). The closure of long-stay institutional spaces for PWLD was supposed to provide a better quality of life through increasing normalisation agendas (Hall and McGarrol, 2012), but, as Myers et al (1998) have noted, community presence and availability of opportunities do not directly correlate with genuine participation by PWLD within the communities in which they live; if, indeed, this should be a marker of the quality of life of 2 PWLD. It is, therefore, a key tenet of this thesis to discover more about the lived realities of PWLD as they encounter mobile residential experiences of and at home. Massey (1993), in her critique of ‘time-space compression’ (Harvey, 1989) as the speeding-up of time-space connectivity under capitalism, noted that the ability to move and to undertake certain types of movement is “socially differentiated and unevenly distributed” (Dufty-Jones, 2012:210). Ong (1999:11) further adds that the notion of everyone being able to take “equal advantage of mobility” is entirely misleading. Combining notions of home and mobility, Blunt and Dowling (2006) argue that the static rootedness of home, suggested by Heidegger (1993), can be usefully unsettled when mobility is understood as a function of the “(re)production of meanings of home” (Dufty-Jones, 2012:212). As such, it is central to the core aims of this thesis to probe the mundane, yet in various ways profound, realities of life with a learning disability as those affected seek to navigate ‘differently normal’ lives (Hanson and Philo, 2007) around different residencies and homes.

  • The Story of Nursing in British Mental Hospitals
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 12:59 29 November 2016 The Story of Nursing in British Mental Hospitals From their beginnings as the asylum attendants of the nineteenth century, mental health nurses have come a long way. This is the first comprehensive history of mental health nursing in Britain in over twenty years, and during this period the landscape has transformed as the large institutions have been replaced by services in the community. McCrae and Nolan examine how the role of mental health nursing has evolved in a social and professional context, brought to life by an abundance of anecdotal accounts. The nine chronologically ordered chapters follow the development from untrained attendants in the pauper lunatic asylums to the professionally qualified nurses of the twentieth century, and, finally, consider the rundown and closure of the mental hospitals from nurses’ perspectives. Throughout, the argument is made that while the training, organisation and environment of mental health nursing has changed, the aim has remained essentially the same: to nurture a therapeutic relationship with people in distress. McCrae and Nolan look forward as well as back, and highlight significant messages for the future of mental health care. For mental health nursing to be meaningfully directed, we must first understand the place from which this field has developed. This scholarly but accessible book is aimed at anyone with an interest in mental health or social history, and will also act as a useful resource for policy- makers, managers and mental health workers. Niall McCrae is a lecturer in mental health nursing at Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery, King’s College London.

These grand architectural monoliths housed hundreds of people in various sites at their peak, across the countryside of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and offered care to mental health patients for over a century. Despite this, many will know the asylum complexes from whistle-blower accounts or newspaper articles declaring them unfit for purpose and highlighting incidents where negligence was commonplace.

    Director-General Health & Social Care and Chief Executive NHSScotland Malcolm Wright T: 0131-244 2790 E: [email protected] Calum Campbell Chief Executive NHS Lanarkshire Kirklands Hospital Fallside Road Bothwell G71 8BB ___ 17 June 2019 Dear Calum NHS LANARKSHIRE: ANNUAL OPERATIONAL PLAN 2019/20 Thank you for submitting your Annual Operational Plan (AOP), setting out your operational priorities and key actions for 2019/20. May I take this opportunity to thank you and your team for all the hard work that has gone into the preparation of the AOP over the last few months. As detailed in the guidance we issued in February 2019, the AOP is intended to support NHS Boards and their partners to deliver safe, effective and accessible treatment and care, and provides the basis on which the Scottish Government will hold Boards to account for their contribution over the year to delivering the Cabinet Secretary’s priorities including waiting times improvement; investment in mental health; and achieving greater progress and pace in the integration of Health and Social Care. In responding to your AOP, I would like to take the opportunity to reinforce the importance of adopting a whole system approach to implementation. This will necessitate a clear focus on interagency and integrated working with your key partners and stakeholders across the health and care system, always maintaining the primacy of patient safety as an underpinning principle. We recognise that this is essentially a one year plan, focusing on 2019/20 at this stage. For next year, we will want to move to align the AOP with the three year planning horizon set out in the Medium Term Financial Framework to ensure that we have clear visibility of the significant change processes that are underway across the system and to ensure that AOPs fully support and reflect the service reform agenda.
