Learning Disabilities: Transforming Care

Baroness Jolly Excerpts

Thursday 9th June 2016 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Jolly (LD)]

My Lords, I declare my interest as chair of Hft, a learning disability charity delivering such services across England. It is really very difficult to plan at the moment. We anticipate an element of growth, but we are not sure where or when that will come. The Minister outlined issues such as that. Could the NHS learn from some local authorities that are charged with managing their markets so that when they are ready to discharge such patients they have already established settings for them?

[Lord Prior of Brampton]

All the transforming care partnerships will comprise both CCGs and local authorities, so all the experiences learned by local authorities should be paid into the process.
