What Kind of Living?
Earlier this year, in a remarkable film about Danesbury Hospital in Hertfordshire, HAROLD WILLIAMSON looked at the plight of 26 people, all once active and healthy until illness or accident paralysed them. The courage of these patients was extraordinary, but the film could offer little hope. However, it did evoke an enormous response from people anxious to know what more can be done.
Now DESMOND WILCOX talks to leading research scientists, Alf Morris mp, Minister for the Disabled, and the disabled themselves with strong views as to how their lives could be improved.
