It set out a clear framework for commissioners to reduce inpatient capacity by developing more community services for people with learning disabilities or autistic people with behaviour considered challenging.<\/p> The NHS Long Term Plan prioritises services for children and young people and commits to achieving at least a 50% reduction in the number of people with a learning disability or autism who are inpatients, compared to the figure in 2015, by the end of 2023/24.<\/p> Developing new models of care for those at the highest risk of being subject to restrictive practice was one of the recommendations made by the Care Quality Commission in the interim report of its thematic review of restraint, seclusion and segregation.
