Description
This renewed and refreshed policy has the human rights of people with learning disabilities at its heart. Also integral to it is The Healthcare Quality Strategy for NHS Scotland, published in 2010, which makes clear that whatever the individual circumstances of people’s lives, including age, gender, ethnicity, disability, religion, sexual orientation, mental health, economic or other circumstances, they should have access to the right health services for their needs.Content
