The
Inquiry, led by Sir Jonathan Michael, sought to identify the action
needed to ensure adults and children with learning disabilities receive
appropriate treatment in acute and primary healthcare in England.
The
establishment of the Inquiry followed the publication of Death by
indifference by Mencap and the Disability Rights Commission’s Formal
Investigation into health inequalities experienced by people with
learning disabilities and people with mental health problems.
Sir Jonathan published his report, Healthcare for All, on 29th July 2008. You can download a PDF of the report and its Easy Read version using the links on the right.If
you have a problem with the care you receive from the NHS please speak
to the Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) at your local hospital
