Learning Disabilities Mortality Review (LeDeR)

The LeDeR (Learning disabilities mortality review) Programme reviews the lives and deaths of people with learning disabilities and autistic people across England.

The aim of the programme is to learn from people's experiences of using health and social care services in Surrey. Then to make changes to make sure that people with learning disabilities and autistic people receive high quality care which helps them to stay healthy and get the support they need.
