Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the annual health check for people with a learning disability at their GP practice will continue to be a priority healthcare assessment for the rest of this Parliament.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends that general practitioners (GPs) should offer an annual health check to all adults, children and young people with a learning disability. The Government expects integrated care boards (ICBs) and health professionals to have due regard to NICE guidelines when making commissioning decisions. NHS Operational Planning Guidance for 2025/26 requires ICBs to report on the number of people on the quality outcome framework learning disability register aged 14 years old and over who receive an annual health check during the quarter.
