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.
