An action plan for the implementation of the recommendations set out in the Bamford Review of Mental Health and Learning Disability, an independent review of legislation, policy and service provision, concluded in August 2007. Broadly the review called for: continued emphasis on promotion of positive mental health; reform of mental health legislation; a continued shift from hospital to community-based services; development of a number of specialist services, to include children and young people, older people, those with addiction problems and those in the criminal justice system; and an adequate trained workforce to deliver these services. The plan sets out in detail key actions aimed at: promoting positive health, wellbeing and early intervention; supporting people to lead independent lives; supporting carers and families; providing better services to meet individual needs; and developing structures and a legislative framework.

This document sets out minimum standards for day care settings in Northern Ireland whether provided by the independent or statutory sectors. The standards specify the arrangements, facilities and procedures that need to be in place to ensure the delivery of a quality service. These services are targeted at persons aged 18 years and over. They are designed to meet the assessed needs of individuals for care, support, supervision or rehabilitation by reason of mental illness, functional impairment, cognitive impairment, learning disability, ill-health, age, family, or life circumstances. These standards apply to a place where persons in need of prescribed services may attend for the purposes of assessment, rehabilitation or counselling but where they are not provided with board or accommodation; day care delivered in a residential care or nursing home setting, as appropriate; and services provided as outreach from a day care setting, as relevant and appropriate.

This Service framework for learning disabilities is one of a set of Service Frameworks which sets out standards for health and social care to be used by service users and carers, to help them understand the standard of care they can expect to receive in Northern Ireland. The Service Framework for Learning Disability aims to improve the health and wellbeing of people with a learning disability and their carers and families by promoting social inclusion, reducing inequalities in health and social wellbeing and improving the quality of health and social care services. The Framework sets standards in relation to: Safeguarding and Communication and Involvement in the Planning and Delivery of Services; Children and Young People; Entering Adulthood; Inclusion in Community Life; Meeting General Physical and Mental Health Needs; Meeting Complex Physical and Mental Health Needs; At Home in The Community; Ageing Well; and Palliative and End of Life Care. Each standard is accompanied by a statement on what the standard is intended to achieve. It also sets out the evidence base and rationale for the development of the standard and the performance indicators that will be used to measure that the standard during the three year period 2013 - 2016. The Framework has been developed with the involvement of people from all aspects of health and social care, including patients, users of services and their carers. (Edited publisher abstract)
