Eric Emerson - Health inequalities and people with learning disabilities

People with learning disabilities are much more likely to have poor health than other people. We also know quite a lot about why this happens.

We have produced a report which summarises what we know. This report will be useful to people who commission or provide services for people with learning disabilities. We have also produced a one-page summary of this report for professionals and family carers.

We will update this report each year.
