answer text <p>Serious handicap is not defined in the Abortion Act 1967. An assessment of the seriousness of a fetal abnormality should be considered on a case-by-case appraisal and is a matter for the expert judgement of the two doctors involved in assessing the request for an abortion. In doing this the doctors will take into account all available clinical information.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Data on the time taken to rehouse an adult male in-patient with complex needs following the closure of services is not held centrally.</p><p> </p><p>National guidance on high-quality hospital care for people with a learning disability or autism is clear that discharge planning should start from the point of admission, irrespective of the future plans for the hospital service in question. A hospital should never be a home and the aim should always be for the individual to receive the assessment or treatment they require and then move on. The length of time it will take to plan and secure a discharge will vary significantly depending on the individual’s specific needs.</p><p> </p><p>Data on the number of inpatient beds in the NHS England North Region for patients with complex needs is shown in the table below. NHS England North can only supply data for the beds they commission, broken down as follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Hosted and contracted Adult Secure Mental Health Beds</p></td><td><p>772</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Commissioned Adult Secure Mental Health Beds</p></td><td><p>760</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Hosted and Contracted Adult Secure Learning Disability beds</p></td><td><p>145</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: Contract data – NHS England (Specialised Commissioning – North)</p><p> </p><p>Within the 772 beds, there are 276 beds in West Yorkshire, 266 of which are commissioned by NHS England.</p>
