Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many (a) autistic people and (b) people with learning disabilities were placed in an inpatient unit rated as inadequate by the Care Quality Commission in the last 12 months.
This information is not held centrally. However, as of 31 October 2022 there were 170 people with a learning disability and autistic people in hospital settings with a rating of inadequate listed by the Care Quality Commission. Many of these patients will have been placed in these sites prior to the inadequate rating.
