3 BIG ISSUES Primary care General hospital care Specialist healthcare

‘Getting it Right’ 3 year campaign

Getting It Right – update  200 organisations signed up to charter  193 in England, 6 in Wales and 1 in Northern Ireland  In England this broke down into: 78 out of the 175 NHS General Hospital Trusts ( 44.5%) 62 out of the 146 Primary Care NHS Trusts ( 42.5%) 21 out of 56 Mental Health / Learning Disabilities NHS Trusts (37.5%) 7 out 10 SHA’s ( 70%) 6 out of the 12 Ambulance Trusts (50%) 5 Medical colleges 10 non-NHS organisations

Almost half (46%) of doctors say that people with learning disabilities receive a poorer standard of healthcare Almost third of nurses (33%) had personally witnessed a patient with Learning Disabilities being treated with neglect or lack of dignity Nearly 4 out of 10 doctors and third of nurses went as far as saying that people with Learning Disabilities are discriminated against (Mencap, Getting it right survey, June 2010) Concerns remain

More still to do on reasonable adjustments, particularly round changing clinical practice Implementation of the Mental Capacity Act is still a concern 6 Lives Progress Update (2010)

Getting It Right – what next ?  Which health organisations are not signed up ? Why ?  Need to ensure local stakeholders and users / carers are equipped to hold organisations who have signed up to the charter to account  Considering extending revised version to GP Consortia and practices  Implementation of 2 key projects in which ‘Getting It Right’ has had a key part in securing funding
