Learning Disabilities Dataset

Background

The Learning Disabilities Dataset (LDD) working in partnership with NHS England seeks aggregated data on key health issues for people with a learning disability, and comparative data about a control group without a learning disability. It covers demography, health status, screening uptake, preventive interventions and prevalence and management of key health conditions. The data are to support production of a range of ICB–level primary care indicators covering care quality for people with a learning disability. These are intended to support benchmarking and quality improvement of primary care provision for this group

Only one payment may be made as regards to any patient in any one financial year.
