Muckamore: Mum urges end to long-term hospital care
The mother of a man who went into Muckamore Abbey Hospital for two weeks but ended up staying for seven years has said there must be better planning so institutionalised care becomes a thing of the past.
No suitable place could be found for Graham Mackie to live in the community.
The 35-year-old has learning disabilities and autism.
He now lives in his own home supported by the Positive Futures charity.
