The Adults with a Learning Disability JSNA examines the needs of the adult population with a learning disability aged 16 years and over. This JSNA looks at the demographics of the adult population with a learning disability, their health outcomes, and how some of the wider determinants of health impact on these outcomes.

The Adults with a Learning Disability JSNA has grouped its recommendations by intended audience. There are a number of high level recommendations grouped under "recommendations for multiple organisations" recognising the role everyone has to play in supporting people with a learning disability. There are then specific recommendations for local authorities, all commissioners of services across Warwickshire, and primary and secondary care, starting to pull out specific actions for these areas.
