ALT A graphic showing 5 boxes of stats. Text reads: 434,243 people granted social care are still waiting for it. At least 2,025 people with a learning disability and/or autistic people are locked away in mental health hospitals. 4.9 years is the average length of stay for current inpatients. 600,000 disabled people have just £10 or less per week to pay for food and other essentials. Almost 3 out of 5 people who live in poverty in the UK are disabled or live with a person who is disabled.
ALT A maroon graphic with four beige squares on it. There are stats within the squares which read: The amount of learning disability nurses has nearly halved between 2009 and 2023. Evidence suggests people with a learning disability experience poor mental health at a rate around double that of the general population. People with a learning disability die earlier than the general population. An estimated 20 years earlier for men and 23 years earlier for women. Around 3/4 of people with a learning disability are not on GP learning disability registers.
