Its perspective is informed by research on the long-term outcomes and costs of care in the community for people with learning disabilities. Focuses on the performance of mainstream care management services for people with learning disabilities, with an identification and review of critical dimensions for reviewing competence. Lessons from earlier experimentation and demonstration approaches are used to inform the analysis and to construct pointers for commissioners or providers who are looking to assess the effectiveness of care management arrangements in learning disability within their own service systems.
