Abstract
This article provides a brief historical perspective and describes recent policy guidance relating to the mental health needs of people with learning disabilities in England. It also highlights the role that health and social care services have played turning the policies into practice. Finally it will suggest why people with learning disabilities continue to be one of the most excluded and discriminated groups within our society and how our drive towards social inclusion remains the key challenge for all of us.
