People with learning disabilities are a particularly vulnerable and disadvantaged population with substantially poorer health and well-being than the general population. Research studies internationally are consistent in showing an inverse correlation between objective indicators of physical, material, social and developmental well-being and degree of disability. People with more severe and profound disabilities experience greater inequality in health and quality of life. They experience greater and more complex morbidity and differentially high mortality. Action on such evident disparities is consistent with the Welsh Assembly Government strategic agenda for 2003 - 2007.
