People with learning disabilities, especially those with Down’s syndrome, have a higher level of health needs than the general population. In Down's syndrome they are more likely to experience problems involving the heart, thyroid, sensory impairment, diabetes and epilepsy, and they have an increased risk of developing dementia. This article discusses the Manchester baseline dementia screening project for people with Down’s syndrome, which provided evidence on the prevalence of these health conditions and identified a lack of health screening for people with Down’s syndrome in the Manchester area.
