Abstrakt:	There is increasing evidence that the Health Equalities Framework (HEF) benefits people with learning disabilities, but there is little information about service users' and carers' views of it. This article reports on an evaluation of the HEF tool and the views of service users and carers, collected through a questionnaire. Findings suggest that service users benefit in many ways, based on the 29 indicator scales of the five domains of the HEF assessment: social, genetic-biological, communication, behaviour/lifestyle and service quality. The article outlines how HEF assessments reduced health inequalities, and includes examples of feedback about the outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
