Publication, Part of Learning Disabilities Health Check Scheme
[MI] Learning Disabilities Health Check Scheme January 2023
Delay to February and March 2023 release dates
The Learning Disability Health Check publication is a management information report and as such the release date is liable to move depending on a variety of situations. In this instance we have had feedback from users that the numbers of health checks feel inaccurate due to issues of data completeness. Therefore, we have taken the decision to delay the publication date in order to ensure the quality of the data released is as robust as possible.

Summary
The learning disabilities health check scheme is designed to encourage practices to identify all patients aged 14 and over with learning disabilities, to maintain a learning disabilities 'health check' register and offer them an annual health check, which will include producing a health action plan.
The learning disabilities health check scheme is one of a number of GP enhanced services. Enhanced services are voluntary reward programmes that cover primary medical services; one of their main aims is to reduce the burden on secondary care services. Data for other enhanced services are published annually, the latest release of these data is available under related links below.
