This book offers an exclusive insight into the challenges faced by people with learning disabilities trying to access mainstream health and social services, and by the professionals who are trying to provide them. The combination of professional perspectives and viewpoints of people with learning disabilities themselves creates an authoritative explanation of why this group of people face the barriers they do. The contributors critique these barriers and also offer potential solutions to overcoming them. Fifteen chapters, each written by individual authors, are included: one story; a review and critique; the legacy of 'valuing people' in England; policy in Scotland: implementing the 'same as you'; will 'equal lives' be achieved in Northern Ireland?; intellectual disability with mental health problems; let's be patient: hospital admissions; primary care and intellectual disability; looks like leisure?; getting into employment; accessing further education; equal rights to housing; ethnicity and intellectual disability; and service users' involvement in higher education.
