Question
To ask the Scottish Government, since the introduction of annual health checks for adults with a learning disability in May 2022, how many adults have been offered such a health check.
Answer
This information is not currently collected by the Scottish Government. The National Directions for Annual Health Checks state that all eligible people with a learning disability should be offered an annual health check by 31 March 2024. The Scottish Government will be asking Health Boards to report on numbers of people offered annual health checks and number of health checks received after this date.
