Funded access to primary care

Recommendation

The SPPG must ensure that commissioning includes provision for people with learning disabilities and autistic people cared for in any facility to have fully funded access to primary care services. These may be provided by LD nurse practitioners/LD nurse consultants. Local commissioning groups (LCGs) should monitor this provision.
