Big issues here.
In NSW, we have some good intellectual disability health teams. BUT, they are only allowed to do one off assessments.
Also, Covid vaccination showed the need for last resort sedation clinics. Where are they now?

“Why in a hospital that's equipped with everything, every scan, and every test why they didn't do that, on our non-verbal child who is in pain constantly?" her father Asif Ali asked.

We need
1. All parties to commit to the #intellectualdisability health National Roadmap
2. A National Centre of Excellence NOW to drive action
End #deadlydisabilitydiscrimination #ourhealthcounts #ourvotecounts @James_Stevens @ScottMorrisonMP @JoshFrydenberg @birmo #Budget2022
It’s World Down Syndrome Day. Here’s my sister, Emma, with my Mum, brother & his family. She died in 2018 w dementia but we advocated for her to stay alive & well from go to woe. Many folk with #ID don’t have family who can do that. #WDSD @GregHuntMP @Mark_Butler_MP @CIDvoice
10 days to #Budget22 @JoshFrydenberg @Birmo @ScottMorrisonMP @GregHuntMP
People with intellectual disability are looking to you.
Dying 27 years younger with up to 50% of deaths preventable.
We must stop the #deadlydisabilitydiscrimination
Now!
Thank-you @GregHuntMP for your commitment to the Roadmap to improve health for people with intellectual disability (ID). Please ensure the National Centre of Excellence in #ID Health is funded #ourhealthcounts
Huge shout out to the Hughes family. We do the same for our 24 yo son with #ASD & #ID. Sadly, not every family can. #Pharmacists can help reduce medication-related hospital admissions through #collaborative #medicationreviews and providing #QUM services @PSA_National @DRC_AU
People with intellectual disability (ID) die 27 years earlier than the general population.
Up to half the deaths of people with ID are preventable.
Many of these deaths are medication related

@JimSimpson53 - the national roadmap on the health of people with intellectual disability must “SIMPLY STOP THE NEGLECT” that @DRC_AU has exposed in the health system.

@Trollor1 sets the context of health reform for people with intellectual disability - against the WHO building blocks
