| Annotation | The principal focus of this review was the health services provided at Gogarburn Hospital and elsewhere in the Edinburgh Healthcare NHS Trust for people with learning disabilities. The timing of the visit allowed a review of the complex planning and commissioning issues around the hospital closure, and also provided the opportunity to review community services in the context of a changing service profile. A very important focus of the review is on quality of life and quality of care of people remaining in hospital during the closure programme. Evidence was found of many examples of high quality care and innovative practice. A number of recommendations are made which need to be considered in the context of the new evolving service. (RH). |
