What is in the plan?
It says what changes the government has made that will help us decide how to spend the money
It says what changes have been made in Ealing that will help us decide how to spend the money
It says how many people with learning disabilities there are
It says what health and social care needs people have
It says where people live and what services they get

We had meetings in September to talk about
what services people want

It says which organisations provide the services
It says how much the services cost

We spend over £25 million on health and social care services for adults with learning disabilities and their carers.
We think that there are 1,016 people with learning disabilities aged 18-64. We know 800.
We think there might be over 100 people with learning disabilities over the age of 65.
We spend 74% of our money on residential care and supported living. This is for 418 people.
There are 230 people placed outside of Ealing.
We also buy day services for lots of people in residential
care homes.
There are about 500 people with high support needs
There are 46 people with severe challenging needs
About half of the people we know about are from
minority ethnic communities
We spend over £2 million on day services.
We know of about 400 people living with family carers.
We spend about £1 million on respite services. About 140 families received
breaks from caring last year.
How many people will there be in the future?
We think there will be about 11 more young people with learning disabilities every
year who will need adult services.
We think there will be about 5 young people with high support needs who will need adult services next year.
We think this number will go up every year.
We think there will be 1-4 young people every year who will use our challenging behaviour service.
What changes are we going to make in the next 5 years?
Housing and Support
We will develop more supported living for people with high support needs
and challenging needs
We will develop more services in Ealing so
people don’t have to go out of the borough
We will have some places in an extra care scheme for
older people with learning disabilities
We will have a floating support scheme for people
in their own homes who don’t need much support
Day Services and Employment
We will modernise our day services by getting more people into paid work and leisure activities
We will move people out of Stirling Rd
We will move Learning Curve staff to Acton Town Hall
We will develop new day opportunities for
people with autism and challenging needs
Breaks for Carers
We will develop a new respite service for people with challenging needs
We will spend more of the carers grant on breaks for
carers
We will find a fairer way of sharing out respite
Choice and Control
We will have an advocacy plan and develop different types of advocacy
We will have projects to develop person centred planning for young people
in transition and we will use multi media profiling
We will support more people to have direct payments
We will have a project to develop individual budgets
