Healthcare watchdog keeps up the pressure to improve learning disability services
Healthcare Commission announces further visits to learning disability services and publishes review of specialist adolescent services
Published: 21 August 2008
The Healthcare Commission announced on 21 August 08 that it will visit 48 specialist inpatient learning disability services to examine progress made since its national audit in 2007.
The visits are part of a concerted push by the Commission and other regulatory bodies to raise the standard of care provided to people with learning disabilities.
The Commission last year called for “sweeping and sustained” changes to learning disability services to bring them into the 21st century.
The Commission found that there were unacceptable variations in the quality of specialist inpatient services for people with learning disabilities and that in many, the safety and quality of care was not up to the standard expected of modern services.
