This document explores some examples of what is working well nationally in learning disability commissioning - and how that learning could be used to develop a person-centred commissioning pathway for the future. No one area claims to have everything right, but each example shows a part of the pathway being implemented successfully, and within a person-centred approach. The report should be useful for commissioners, especially to focus them on developing action plans for the way forward.

This workbook has been designed to assist local authority and health partners to gather data across the whole system to assist capacity planning which will then inform local commissioning plans and will be of particular use when considering learning disability services. It should be considered in the context of important policy documents, such as Changing Lives and Better Health, Better Care which recommend how changes can be made to social care and health services to make them fit for the future. It is intended to be a practical tool for use by partnerships and can be easily adapted or customised for use in local areas. This workbook assists partners with this process by providing a framework for identifying existing services, service pressures and financial data all of which gives a firm basis for then agreeing a detailed and robust capacity plan within an overall Strategic Plan. The workbook is based on a workbook developed for older people in Dundee and Forth Valley, and since then tested in a number of partnerships in Scotland.

Psychiatrists can help in the development of better local services for people with learning disability by clearly defining the client group and their needs, involvement in the process of commissioning such services, and learning from colleagues in other service areas such as forensic psychiatry. This should help enable people with learning disability with very high needs to have similar access to services as others have.
