Abstract
The NHS 2025 Health Plan aims for radical reform but overlooks people with intellectual disability. This editorial highlights critical omissions in policy, services, research and rights protections. Without intentional inclusion, digital and community shifts risk deepening inequality. True progress demands co-produced strategies to ensure equitable care for this vulnerable population.
