Approximately ,2,000 million per year is spent by Local Authorities and the NHS and in England to support people with learning disabilities. A significant proportion of these resources are devoted to providing residential supports. Given such a level of investment, it is clearly prudent for Local Authorities and Health Authorities to closely monitor: the value or outcomes associated with current investment; and the current and future match between supply and demand. Work recently commissioned by the Department of Health has summarised current knowledge relating to the quality and costs of different approaches to providing residential supports for people with learning disabilities. This review also highlighted concerns regarding an apparent shortfall in current provision and drew attention to the possibility of a future increase in the need (and demand) for residential supports.
