Public Health Wales has now published its guidance report,
Good Practice Framework for People with a Learning Disability
requiring planned Secondary Care. The work has been
commissioned by the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) as part of
their service level agreement.
“This report aims to define best practice and
improve health outcomes for people with Learning Disabilities when
they access secondary health care for a planned hospital stay. It
is primarily targeted at hospitals and for people with Learning
Disabilities their families, carers and paid support staff. It will
also have relevance for other key stakeholders and service user
organisations.”
