Healthcare providers have a legal responsibility to ensure that people with learning disabilities have their health needs met to the same level as the general population. As part of this, they should be empowered to make as many decisions as possible about their healthcare. Providing information in an easy-read format can help them to understand health issues and therefore make more decisions for themselves.
