This document is designed to help primary care trusts (PCTs), working in partnership with local government and Learning Disability Partnership Boards, to commission health services in ways that are more responsive to, and provide better health outcomes for, people with learning disabilities. The evidence from a series of reports and inquiries shows that the health service is not yet providing services in ways that adequately meet these health needs. All commissioners have a duty to promote equality for disabled people. This means commissioning services in ways that secure reasonable adjustments for people with learning disabilities and ensure a coordinated approach to communications, use of data and partnership working.

The National Service Framework (NSF) for Children and Maternity Services is published alongside supporting material, which includes a series of exemplar patient journeys. Whilst it is not the role of the NSF or the exemplars to provide detailed clinical discussion on individual childhood conditions or aspects of pregnancy or childbirth, exemplars illustrate some of the key themes in the NSF. Autism is a spectrum disorder and every child will present differently and have needs specific to them. This example is just one example of the possible patient journey.
