Health Action Planning
Valuing People says that personal health action plans would help people with learning disabilities to get their health needs met. It said that everyone with a learning disability would have a health action plan by June 2005.

This page has the government guidance about Health Action Planning and health facilitation. It also has some papers and information from people who are making it happen and information about making health action planning person centred.
