Torture, sex and learning disabilites

The BBC Panorama programme exposure of the treatment of patients with learning difficulties shows us what happens when there are unfettered, profit-driven, private ventures with ill-trained and unsupervised staff. The reporting of it, so far, seems to have difficulty in seeing the link between cruelty amounting to torture and sexuality.  I take it as axiomatic that patients with learning difficulties are sitting targets for disturbed people who use the cover of care work to facilitate access to feed their perverse impulses. For the state to hand these most vulnerable people over to the private sector is morally indefensible and leaves those who advocate such policies implicated in the abuse. Will the Coalition Government and the Labour Party listen please?
