Ensuring access to healthcare for people with learning disabilities
We are committed to supporting people with learning disabilities which dovetails with a performance indicator set by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to ensure access to healthcare for people with learning disabilities.
As such, we have implemented a number of measures to improve the support we provide which are detailed on these web pages, including a dedicated executive lead for learning disabilities.

The resource contains information about why people may have difficulties understanding or communicating, provides useful tips to improve communication and pages of pictures to help with communication.
