| Annotation | Despite changes in the nature of supported accommodation services for people with learning disabilities, little progress was made during the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s in tackling unmet need. While the advent of Supporting People has more recently led to an increase in the volume of provision, unmet need continues to be a major concern to people with learning disabilities and their families. There is good reason to believe that, as a result of changes in the demographic profile of people with learning disabilities, changes in expectations and changes in the pattern of informal care, this issue will become substantially more pressing over the next two decades. This paper attempts to estimate the nature and extent of increased need. (RH). |
