Edinburghs city council cuts funding for deaf-specific social services, endangering lives, according to Deaf Action. Jennifer Staples, a lifelong resident, shares her struggles after losing access to essential support. Deaf Action warns of increased risks due to integration into generic systems, citing a case where a woman received a do-not-resuscitate order due to communication barriers. The council claims inconsistent British Sign Language coverage led to the changes, but Deaf Action pushes for full restoration of services.
