A Health Scrutiny challenge session took place on the 10th March 2020 reviewing “How health and social care is supporting adults with a learning disability to live independent lives in Tower Hamlets”. This scrutiny session focused on three main areas of the Learning Disability Strategy: Health, Accommodation and Employment. The challenge session report was compiled providing documentation of the sessions and including recommendations to be actioned upon. Due to the outbreak of the coronavirus-19 pandemic in the UK, the report was signed-off in February 2021. The report was updated against the March position and included an impact assessment of the pandemic for the learning disability population.

This report presents the action plan in response to the Health Scrutiny challenge session report for Cabinet approval.
