The Quality and Outcomes Framework indicator relating to the learning disability register was retired for the 2025/26 contract year.

National published data is recorded on a financial year basis from April to March. This published data shows that, at the end of October 2025, there were 342,928 people aged 14 years old and over on a general practice learning disability register. This is approximately a quarter of the estimated number of adults with a learning disability in England.
