So who are we missing? What is needed to make people stand up and ACT, we cannot even say all talk no action as even that is not happening! #inequalities #learningdisability #leder

Over the past two weeks the inequalities and avoidable deaths for people living with a learning disability have been highlighted by @BBCNews @itvnews and @Channel4News so when is this going to become a priority and real change happen? People are aware, politicians are aware?
