This report follows on from Mencap's Treat me right! campaign in 2004, which showed that people with a learning disability do not get the healthcare and treatment that they need. The report claims that people with a learning disability face institutional discrimination at every level of the health service. The report describes six deaths of people with a learning disability – deaths that their families, and Mencap, believe were avoidable.
