The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman and Local Government Ombudsman published the Six Lives: The Provision of Public Services to People with Learning Disabilities report in March 2009, which investigated the deaths of six people with learning disabilities. This progress report in response to the recommendations in the Six Lives report was prepared using information and views gathered from a range of service providers, service users and other relevant people and groups. It looks at the Six Lives recommendations, discussing reviewing and reporting, regulatory bodies, and the role of the Department of Health, and what seems to be making a difference and what is causing most concern in terms of impact. It notes that much work has been undertaken to improve care and treatment of people with learning disabilities, but that more needs to be done.
