Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people with moderate learning disabilities have died of covid-19 since 30 December 2020.

We do not hold data. NHS England and NHS Improvement publish weekly data about the number of COVID-19 related deaths of people with a learning disability reported to the Learning Disabilities Mortality Review programme by date of death, where COVID-19 is suspected or confirmed as the cause of death. However, this data does not identify the ‘severity’ of learning disability.
