Chart 2.1 illustrates the balance of care provided for people with learning disabilities, over time. The most dramatic change is the decrease in occupied hospital beds which, by 2000, had fallen to just under one third of the level in 1980.
Over the same time period, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of residents in residential care homes and in the number of people attending day centres, although these appear to be levelling off in recent years. Data on home care clients and residents in nursing homes with learning disabilities have not been collected for long enough to allow comment on any trends.
