Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what progress he has made on the implementation of his policy Transforming Care since the establishment of the Transforming Care Delivery Board in February 2015.

The total overall number of people in inpatient units has fallen 14% since March 2015.

In March 2017 we published a revised Care and Treatment Review (CTR) policy and made a number of changes to improve the effectiveness of CTRs.

164 inpatient beds closed in 2016/17, ahead of plan. The last stand-alone National Health Service hospital for people with a learning disability was absorbed into a mental health trust last year. New community services are opening, offering intensive support in people’s own homes rather than in hospital.
