Access to good healthcare for our Learning Disability and Neurodivergent population

Overview

A project has recently been launched by the Safeguarding Team for Health to develop better healthcare services for people with learning disabilities and those who are neurodivergent.

We know that health services for this group have not always been as good as they can be and we want to do something about it.

It is important that we hear from this community about their experience of accessing health services and learn from you what went well, what didn’t and what you would like to change.

We want this client group to get the help they need when they use health services.

We would like reasonable adjustments to be seen as the norm as common sense tools within an accessible and universal health service.

Reasonable adjustments and alternative formats

The Department is committed to equal opportunities and our aim is to make our documents easy to use and accessible to all.

We will take steps to accommodate any reasonable adjustments and provide such assistance as you may reasonably require to enable you to access or reply to this consultation.
