<p>On 21 May 2019, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) published its ‘Interim Report:
Review of restraint, prolonged seclusion and segregation for people with a mental
health problem, a learning disability and or autism.’ The Government has accepted
all five of the recommendations in the CQC’s interim report including the recommendation
that over the next 12 months, there should be an independent and an in-depth review
of the care provided to, and the discharge plan for, each person who is in segregation
on a ward for children and young people or on a ward for people with a learning disability
and/or autism.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is committed to working with partners
across the health, education and care system to ensure that all of the recommendations
are implemented effectively.</p><p> </p><p>We will ensure the care of each and every
person detained in seclusion or long term segregation is thoroughly scrutinised. The
timeframe required to review each case will be case-specific but each review will
be conducted efficiently. We are working with the CQC, NHS England and other partner
organisations on the arrangements for the reviews and their oversight and will publish
further details shortly.</p>
