| Annotation | Some recent reports have shown that services for people with learning disabilities have not always worked well, particularly for those with complex needs. This report uses the evidence from visits in 2008 to nine local areas (Doncaster, Dorset, Dudley, Gateshead, Harrow, Hillingdon, Lancashire, Redbridge and Stoke-on-Trent) to assess how people with learning disabilities and complex needs were being supported to live their lives fully, through the activities of commissioning. It concludes that those with learning disabilities should enjoy the same basic rights as other people, and that central to achieving this are personalised services and access to good advocacy. This was one of the final reports of the three commissions before the new Care Quality Commission assumed responsibilities in April 2009. (RH). |
