Updated .csv file available

The original Learning Disability Health Check Scheme, England, September 2022 .csv file included a number of ‘exclusion’ counts in error. These exclusion counts constitute a functional part of the underlying data collection, but do not convey any meaningful information in respect of the publication and so do not have entries in the data dictionary. A new version of the .csv file (labelled ‘v2’), which does not include these counts, has replaced the original version of the file.

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.
