Scottish Annual Health Checks for People 16+ with Learning Disabilities
The number of eligible people identified for an annual health check, along with the number of health checks offered and completed.
In May 2022, the Scottish Government committed £2 million every year to NHS Boards to implement annual health checks for people with learning disabilities across Scotland. Annual Health Checks have been evidenced to be clinically effective in detecting unmet clinical conditions, and in improving the management of long-term conditions.
A requirement of the National Directions is for NHS Boards to report to Scottish Government on an annual basis with data on implementation and delivery of health checks. This information is provided in a national survey issued by Scottish Government. The figures presented show the number of eligible people identified for an annual health check, along with the number of health check offered and completed.
