The LeDeR Programme reviews the lives and deaths of people with learning disabilities and autistic people across England.
The aims of the programme:
Improve care for people with a learning disability and autistic people.
Reduce health inequalities for people with a learning disability and autistic people.
Health inequalities are unfair differences in people’s health.
Prevent people with a learning disability and autistic people from early deaths.
