This is supplemented by National Health Service expenditure for example on the development of community support for people with learning disability and autism which has supported a net reduction of around 19% in the number of people with learning disabilities and/or autism who were inpatients in mental health hospitals from a March 2015 baseline of 2,880.</p><p> </p><p>Progress in delivering Building the Right Support is monitored through the Assuring Transformation Dataset with published monthly reports setting out the number of inpatients and the number who have left hospital to live in the community.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England and NHS Digital are developing a reasonable adjustment flag on patients’ summary care records, which can be shared between services, information on the support needs and associated reasonable adjustments for a patient with learning disability or autism.</p><p> </p><p>We have not estimated the number of people with a learning disability or autism living in the community who have a local care and support navigator or key worker.
