<p>The Government's Mandate to NHS England, sets out our ambitions for the health
service, which include an objective that NHS England ensures clinical commissioning
groups work with local authorities to ensure that vulnerable people, particularly
those with learning disabilities and autism, receive safe, appropriate, high quality
care. NHS England sets out how it will achieve the objectives in the Mandate in its
2014-15 – 2016-17 business plan. The Government will hold NHS England to account for
its achievement.</p><p> </p><p><em>Everyone Counts: Planning for Patients 2014/15
to 2018/19</em>sets out a framework within which commissioners will need to work with
providers and partners in local government to develop five year plans to secure the
continuity of sustainable high quality care for all. Building on <em>Everyone Counts</em>,
NHS England is beginning a programme of work to consider how to improve quality of
and access to health care for people with learning disabilities. Within the framework
there is specific reference to <em>Transforming Care: A national response to Winterbourne
View Hospital. </em>This is a non-negotiable item that NHS England expects to be part
of every relationship between commissioners and providers. As part of this, clinical
commissioning groups, local authorities and specialised commissioners should work
together to implement the core specification which describes the core principles that
must be present in all education, health and social care services for children, young
people, adults and older people with learning disabilities and/or autism who either
display, or are at risk of displaying, behaviour that challenges.</p><p> </p><p>NHS
England is committed to work to reduce premature mortality amongst people with learning
disability, including actions in response to the Confidential Inquiry into Premature
Deaths of People with Learning Disabilities.</p><p> </p>
