Public Health Wales

Public Health Wales has published a guidance report called 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.
