Information is collected by several government departments on the characteristics of people with learning disabilities and on the services and supports used by them and their unpaid carers. The aim of this report is to provide a concise summary of this information and to provide links to key data collections. The report estimates that in England in 2010 1,198,000 people had learning disabilities. This includes: 298,000 children (188,000 boys, 110,000 girls) age 0-17; and 900,000 adults (526,000 men and 374,000 women), of whom 191,000 (21%) are known to learning disabilities services. The report includes data on health services, education, adult social care, employment, benefits and carers. Some of the information highlights progress being made on the implementation of key health and social care policies for people with learning disabilities, including: increased rates of uptake of annual health checks by adults with learning disabilities; a reduction in NHS long-term accommodation for adults with learning disabilities; and increased uptake of direct payments and personal budgets by people with learning disabilities. Other information, for example the very low rates of employment among adults with learning disabilities, highlights the progress that still needs to be made in order to meet the aspirations of current policies.

This publication uses maps to show the variation in health care for a variety of conditions across England and Wales. The maps are accompanied by commentary on the background context, scale of variation and options for action. Conditions covered include: care of mothers, babies, and children and young people; mental health problems; dementia; care of older people; end of life care; and learning disabilities. Twenty one of the indicators are also presented by local authority area. The Atlas also highlights the work being done by Right to Care to support anyone wanting to reduce unwarranted variation of health care provision within their locality or between their locality and other areas of the country.
