Residential Provision for People with Learning Disabilities

HL Deb 02 July 1996 vol 573 cc94-5WA

Lord Swinfen

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have received the results of the evaluation of different types of residential provision for people with learning disabilities which they announced on 19th December.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health (Baroness Cumberlege)

We have received the report of the first phase of the evaluation and we are considering the recommendations, including those for further work in this area. The report includes information which will be helpful to commissioners of services for people with learning disabilities, and copies are therefore being sent to health and local authorities and other interested organisations. Copies of the report have been placed in the Library.
