A CARER neglected his severely disabled patient while drunk.
Keith Gannon, 43, was supposed to be providing round-the-clock care for vulnerable Darren Cureton.
Liverpool Crown Court heard the 35-year-old had severe learning difficulties, autism and epilepsy and needed help getting out of bed, getting dressed, being fed and moving around.
But Gannon turned up at work drunk and failed to provide even basic care for Mr Cureton.
Robert Jansen, prosecuting, told how, when Gannon's colleague arrived at the Bootle care home, she discovered he appeared drunk, was slurring his words and making no sense.
