factors in the care of a person with learning disabilities who has subsequently died
• To identify inadequate pathways of care or gaps in the treatment
• To contribute to the evidence base for best clinical and professional practice
• To provide information to guide the commissioning of services
• To establish a usable system for reporting the deaths of people with learning disabilities that can be replicated
• To improve the standard and quality of care for people with learning disabilities and ultimately their health outcomes.
