VALUING PEOPLE NOW
Better Health Overall policy objective:
all people with learning disabilities get the healthcare and the support they need to live healthy lives.
Key issues for the NHS are: achieving full inclusion of people
with learning disabilities in its mainstream work on reducing health inequalities; and
ensuring high-quality evidence-based specialist health services.
Specialist and mental health services
People with learning disabilities are entitled to the support they require to access mainstream mental health services as set out in the national Service framework
Specialist services will help people with learning disabilities to access health professionals from mainstream health services.

being of the population improve the quality and accessibility of
