take your concerns about your child's health seriously. Also if you are trying

to influence local PCT/GP Commissioning bodies to invest in your services.

Today the Improving Health & Lives learning disabilities Observatory published

an annual report summarising what is known about the nature, extent and

determinants of health inequalities experienced by people by with learning

disabilities in the UK . The report includes a special section focusing on

health inequalities experienced by children and young people with learning

disabilities which includes new information extracted from two major UK surveys.
