What the petition asks
Too many people with learning disabilities die in health services due to a lack of communication and many barriers that they face in healthcare due to its complexity.
We need a Learning Disability Protection In Healthcare Act that will require healthcare staff to undergo the right training and protect the rights of people with learning disabilities.
