Abstract: |
People with learning disabilities face serious health inequalities, partly arising from difficulties they encounter in using health services. Health services have a duty to make the adjustments necessary to give them equal access. This report summarises the most recent evidence from the UK on the health status of people with learning disabilities and the determinants of the health inequalities they face. In 2002 a comprehensive review was undertaken of the UK research literature on the health needs of people with learning disabilities and the response of health services to people with learning disabilities. This has now been updated to 2011. The report focuses on information relating to the health needs of people with learning disabilities in the UK. It draws attention to studies from other countries where the results are particularly relevant. For this 2011 edition a further section focused on recent evidence of health inequalities and determinants relevant to children with learning disabilities is presented, including new analyses of data extracted from the Millennium Cohort Study and the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England. |
