This paper examines the evidence relating to the health inequalities faced by people with a learning disability, who have diverse needs and will often experience multiple health problems. The paper also considers policy developments from the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety (DHSSPS) in terms of addressing health inequalities in the learning disability population in Northern Ireland. These include the Bamford Action Plans (2009-2011 and 2012-2015) and a Service Framework for Learning Disability (2012). (Edited publisher abstract)
