  5. Does JSNA Contribute to Understanding and Commissioning? Since 1 April 2008, Local Authorities and Primary Care Trusts have had a duty to produce a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) to help plan all local care needs. Partnership Board were asked whether their JSNA contributes to understanding and commissioning for people with learning disability. Back to Section 1 Index

  7. How Many Adults Aged 18 and over have a Learning Disability? • Partnership Boards were asked how many people they knew in their area who had a learning disability who were aged • 18 - 64 and • 65 and over • The map shows how many this was in total per 1,000 adults living in their areas. • On average, they reported 3.8 per 1,000 adult population. • Boards in the North East of England reported higher rates (5.3 per 1,000). • Boards in the East of England reported lower rates (2.8).

Back to Section 1 Index

  11. Section 2 - The health of people with learning disabilities Partnership Boards were asked if they had completed an annual self assessment This is a joint exercise where all the professional carers meet with self-advocates and family carers to discuss whether their local services meet a set of standards. They rate themselves as red (poor) amber (average) and green (good) on lots of detailed targets and four top overall targets. The four top targets are: Safety NHS large accommodation closures Valuing People Now Health Inequalities The section also asked about Health Checks Jump to Section 3

  12. Has a Self Assessment Framework (SAF) been completed? • Just under half of all Partnership Boards reported their SAF was complete. A further 38% were working on it. • The map shows this varied between regions and could reflect different regions doing it at a different point in the year. Back to Section 2 Index

  17. How many adults with learning disabilities had an Annual Health check? • Annual health checks are a key Reasonable Adjustment in general practice care for people with learning disability. • Health Checks are currently provided by GPs in England as a Directed Enhanced Service. • Adults with learning disabilities are eligible for these checks if their disability is known to both their GP and their local social services Department. • Each year PCTs send a report to the NHS Information Centre saying how many people they know are eligible and how many have had a health check. You can read more details about this on our annual health checks page. Back to Section 2 Index

  18. How many adults with learning disabilities had an Annual Health check? • The partnership boards that answered said health checks had been done for 50% of eligible adults. This is similar to the annual figure for the whole of England (49%). • Partnership Boards in the South West produced the best regional score (72% of eligible people). • The North East was least successful (34% of eligible people). Back to Section 2 Index

This included information on: Housing needs analysis for people with learning disability People living in their own homes or with family Funding of residential or nursing homes outside the LA Disputes Jump to Section 4

  20. Do you have a comprehensive learning disability housing needs analysis that is part of the local authority housing strategy? • Many people with learning disabilities need specific types of accommodation or support to allow them to live as independently as possible in the community. • Partnership Boards were asked if they had done a comprehensive learning disability housing needs analysis as part of their annual local authority housing strategy.

Back to Section 3 Index

  22. How many People with Learning Disabilities Live in their Own Home or with Family? • Overall, Partnership Boards reported that 65% of people with learning disability live in their own home or with family. • The South West reported the lowest proportion (53%). • The figure for the South East reflects only 3 Partnership Boards. Others did not answer this question. Back to Section 3 Index Figures on graph show number of people

  23. % People with learning disability Living Outside the Partnership Board Area Sometimes local health or social care services place people with learning disabilities in homes outside their own area. Partnership Boards were asked how many people in total live in placements outside the Local Authority area. Back to Section 3 Index

  24. % People with learning disability Living Outside the Partnership Board Area 97 areas answered this question. • They reported that overall 9% of people with learning disability were living in placements outside the local authority • London reported the highest proportion (24%) • Other areas reported figures between 5% and 10% • The figure for the South East was very low but this represented only one Partnership Board area. Most of the Boards in the South East did not answer this question. Back to Section 3 Index Figures on graph show number of people

  25. % Local Authority (LA) Budget Spent on People living Outside the LA Local authorities sometimes place clients in residential care facilities outside their area. This may be because there is insufficient local accommodation, for special types of care, or for cheaper locations. Partnership Boards were asked how much they were spending on placements in residential care settings of several types outside the Local Authority (LA) area. We have presented this as a proportion of the social services residential budget and as pounds-per-placements. Back to Section 3 Index

Back to Section 3 Index Figures on graph show spend (£0,000s) in house

  30. Disputes over funding care • When a person with a learning disability has been assessed as requiring a package of care, it has to be paid for. This is the responsibility of the LA where the person lives. However sometimes a LA will have a disagreement with another LA whether they should pay for the care, saying that the person in fact lives in another LA and is therefore their responsibility. Back to Section 3 Index

  31. Disputes over funding care • In total there were 323 disputes as a placing authority (the LA paying for the care). • London had the highest number of disputes as a placing authority (64). • In total there were 303 disputes as a host authority (the LA providing the care) in 2010/11. • Yorkshire & Humber had the highest number of disputes as a hosting authority (107).
