Last month, she confessed to killing her daughter.
Charges against a second defendant for causing or allowing the death of Ms Leitch were later dropped, reports LancsLive
Mrs Justice Amanda Yip sent Clarke to jail for nine years and seven months.
The judge told Clarke: "You have the misfortune all four of your children have additional needs. That can't have been easy but you disregarded Debbie's needs.
"You say have lost your family through your offending.
"There has been some delay in you being brought to justice as you were not charged until April 2021.
"You have some medical needs which are being met in custody and I'm told you are seeking counselling.
"The greatest mitigation is your guilty plea for which you are entitled to credit.
"You changed your plea to guilty just before Christmas, avoiding the inevitable distress a trial would have caused to many people."
She added: "The state of Debbie shows you did not do your best. You abandoned her to die in pain, without nourishment in the most awful surroundings."
