Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to Written Parliamentary Question 107115, how many people with a learning disability are recorded as beneficiaries of the NHS Low Income Scheme.
This question was answered on 23rd February 2026
The NHS Low Income Scheme is administered by the NHS Business Services Authority (NHS BSA) on behalf of the Department. The NHS BSA does not collect or record information on applicants’ medical or health conditions, including whether they have a learning disability. As such, no data is held on the number of people with a learning disability who are beneficiaries of the scheme.
