not the same as seasonal flu so you will need separate vaccinations. If you have not been invited to have one then you can contact your GP. The number of deaths from swine flu have been very low. Walter asked about the side effects of tamiflu and Greg said you need to report to your GP if you get any.
Public Health
Public Health are based in the PCT. They
said there has not been much done in the area of learning disabilities recently. We explained that it is about understanding
the particular needs of people with learning disabilities and taking them into account in all Public Health initiatives, not about doing separate things for people with LD. Greg wants to work with us to give him a perspective of people with learning disabilities. It was agreed that the group will discuss Public Health issues regularly and provide feedback to Greg. We talked about the Aim project and the leaflets that they produce. Walter will show Greg the leaflets. The
group thanked Greg for his talk and hoped that this is the start of work to come. Greg left the meeting.

Learning Disability
at case loads and some cases are being transferred to social workers, so that
nurses have more time to do nursing tasks. More social workers have been employed which has helped. We will discuss health action plans in future meetings.
Closing the Gap Walter has not managed to catch with
Ian Brooke Mawson yet, about making closer links with Carers’ groups. Kay said that the LD awareness training in Bradford Royal Infirmary is going well.
Co-Chair
The letter has been sent to Keith Wyatt about this but we are waiting for a response.
