Mr. Blizzard: To ask the Secretary of State for Health when he expects the targets for service improvements for adults with learning
disabilities set out in the White Paper, Valuing People, to be achieved. [143502]
Dr. Ladyman: The White Paper, "Valuing People: A New Strategy for Learning Disability for the 21st Century" (Cm 5086), published in
March 2001, sets out our proposals for improving services for people with learning disabilities, their families and carers. The
White Paper said that it would take a minimum of five years to make the changes it described.
We have made good progress since "Valuing People" was published, with the basic framework for achieving change now in place: The
Learning Disability Task Force Learning Disability Partnership Boards at local council level The National Forum of People with
Learning Disabilities The Valuing People Support Team, headed by the National Director for Valuing People A range of guidance, and
plans developed by partnership boards to deliver change locally in areas such as person-centred planning, employment, and housing
and support.
The Learning Disability Task Force monitors the progress of "Valuing People" and reports to the Government on this.
Our annual report on learning disability, "Making Change Happen" (HC 514), published in April 2003, described the progress made in
implementing the "Valuing People" proposals; a copy was sent to all English hon. and right hon. Members. Our next annual report will
describe developments since April.
