I will now talk about each patient needs as they all differ from each other. Nusrat Patel is 19 years old and has learning disability. This means Nusrat has difficulties in keeping knowledge and skills to the expected level of those the same age as her. Nusrat also has epilepsy which is neurological brain disorder when someone has epilepsy, it means they tend to have epileptic seizures, a seizure is a sudden attack of illness.

By 1830 the poor law cost around £7 million, which came from taxing the middle and upper class, causing a sense of resentment towards lower class, unemployed people. In 1834 the new poor law was passed, its aim was to reduce the cost of looking after the poor. Workhouses helped with this, they provided clothes, food and healthcare in return for manual labour.
