Review access to healthcare for people with a learning disability

Closed 29 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to enact a review of access to healthcare, especially front line services like GP's, in relation to access by people with learning disabilities.
This review should look at how the digitalisation of services affects people with learning difficulties and whether there can be an LD nurse in every GP's in UK. We find that the current arrangements are insufficient and of detriment to people with learning disabilities, an already marginalised group in society.
