Whilst we know about some of the general health needs of people with learning disabilities, local health and social service planners also need to work out what is needed locally.
They also need to find good ways of monitoring progress in reducing the health inequalities faced by people with learning disabilities.
Maybe they could use information from family doctors registers. Maybe they could do local surveys.
We plan to work with them to see what works best and then produce some guidelines.
These guideline will be released for consultation in March 2011.
