Disabled woman dies just days after being rid of all her care services

A 64-YEAR-OLD former midwife was forced to die alone after her care services were cut.

In Portsmouth, a severely disabled woman was left with no one to help her eat, leave her bed, drink or go to the toilet.

Her local council reportedly cut her services on December 10th 2017 because of allegations of verbal abuse against staff employed to look after her.

Savidge, having to fend for herself, was rushed to hospital on December 16th and later died on December 21st.

An urgent investigation has been launched into the death of the disabled woman, who had been refused from 18 different care agencies just days before Christmas 2017.

Geoff Holt, a friend to the late Savidge said he was shocked at the way she had been treated: "Myra Hindley had care before she died and she murdered children. Yet this little old lady didn’t.

He said the way she had been treated was a disgrace: "That’s disgraceful. ‘This little old lady, who was scared and terminally-ill, was banned or barred by 18 different care agencies – 18. That beggars belief."
