A study in Lancet Psychiatry has revealed that patients
with learning disabilities are receiving better diagnosis of health
problems.
Learning disability health checks were introduced in 2008
through GP's surgeries, as a means of targeting this vulnerable group of
people.
However, despite the GP incentive scheme, still 40% of
patients with learning disabilities have not received their health check - most
likely because they haven't been put on the list!
