This succinct booklet contains information to help professionals introduce person-centred planning approaches into their practice so the people they work with can have more control over their health and support. Valuing People and Valuing People Now set out specific requirements to develop health action plans to focus on the health needs of people with learning disabilities. This resource shows how health action plans and one-page health profiles are equally important for people with long-term conditions or continuing care needs; by setting out the actions required to keep them healthy and well, these planning aids can show how to provide the best support for someone. The guidance is set out under the following headings: what is expected of you?; person-centred thinking, planning and health; professionals and reviews; person-centred thinking, planning and personal budgets; integrating person-centred thinking and planning into daily practice and team work; learning from person-centred thinking, planning and reviews to inform change; and how will you know if you are being successful. Key points are highlighted, examples of good practice outlined and case studies described throughout.

The Government has published a consultation paper on its priorities for learning disabilities over the next three years. It is a cross-government consultation which sets the agenda across a range of issues, including health and well-being, housing, employment, education and community inclusion. The key areas it will focus on are: the personalisation agenda - having choice and control through individual budgets, direct payments, person centred planning and advocacy; what people do - helping people to be socially included in their local communities, with a particular focus on paid work - better health - ensuring that the mainstream NHS provides full and equal access to good quality healthcare and that specialist healthcare services are modernised; access to housing - ensuring that people have access to housing that they want and need with a focus on home ownership and real tenancies; making sure that change happens - making learning disability partnership boards more effective.
