Last chance to share your views over NHS services for people with a learning disability

Drop-in events are being held in early November to help to shape the future of NHS services for people with a learning disability.

A series of workshops and drop-in events have taken place already, with over 100 people participating in ‘pre-consultation engagement’.

The NHS is asking whether the resources currently being to provide short breaks for a learning disability could and should be used in a different way. These resources include funding, staff and buildings.
