To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many children with learning disabilities have had their needs met by (a) eyesight, (b) hearing and (c) dental services since the publication of the NHS Long Term Plan commitment in January 2019.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many children with learning disabilities have had their needs met by (a) eyesight, (b) hearing and (c) dental services since the publication of the NHS Long Term Plan commitment in January 2019.
The NHS Long Term Plan made a commitment that autistic children and young people, and those with a learning disability, or both in special residential schools should have access to dental, sight and hearing checks. In order to progress this commitment, NHS England has commenced individual proof-of-concept programmes covering the three sensory checks since 2021. These seek to pilot and evaluate a sight, hearing and oral health service model in special residential schools in England.
The outcomes from the specific proof-of-concept programmes are being collated for each of the sensory workstreams. The findings will inform decisions about the scope, funding and delivery of any commissioning planning for future sensory check delivery for children and young people in special residential schools.
As part of these programmes more than 690 children and young people have received a hearing check, over 70 children received an oral health check and over 10,900 children and young people have received an eye test.
