This week is learning disability week. We will be taking this opportunity to think about ‘age-appropriateness’ our committee will be sharing something about themselves that may not be considered age appropriate! Starting with our chairperson Georgia. @theRCOT
It's #LearningDisabilityWeek! 💜
We want people with a learning disability to be seen.

ALT A purple graphic with four oatmeal coloured boxes on top. In each box there's a statistic relating to people with a learning disability. They read, twice as many people with a learning disability die avoidably than in the general population. One in five people in the UK have seen someone mocked because of their learning disability. 28% of people in the UK still believe that learning disability relates to a mental health problem. Disabled households need £975 a month to have the same standard of living as non-disabled households.

Lots in today’s press about the future of the NHS. Never forget that well into it’s 60’s the NHS was assessed as the most effective health system in the world with historically high public satisfaction and historically low waiting lists. Its sustainability is a political choice.
