A mother whose autistic son has spent 10 months in hospital has said he is being locked away and robbed of a future.

Amanda said her son Sebastian, 19, is deemed fit for discharge, but the health trust has been unable to find somewhere for him to live due to his complex needs.

The Southern Health Trust confirmed it was continuing to liaise directly with the family to find the most suitable care setting.
