The Big Plan: Joint Commissioning Strategy

About this Consultation

The Big Plan explains how Bournemouth and Poole will work together to provide health and social care services for adults with learning disabilities. 

In 2010, the population of people aged 18-64 living in Bournemouth and Poole with a learning disability was estimated at around 4,600.  This included people with either a mild, moderate, or severe learning disability.  Many of these people live independent lives and do not require specialist support.  However, a significant number rely on a range of information, advice and support services to maintain their independence in the community, with over 1000 people requiring specialist Health and Social Care support and/or services. 

The Big Plan proposes the key areas for development across learning disability services for both local authorities and NHS Bournemouth and Poole over the next three years. The Big Plan has been produced as an easy read document and is accompanied by a more detailed appendix report, entitled ‘The Big Plan – Extra Information’.

Tell us what you think

From 14 November 2011 to 10 February 2012 we asked people to tell us what they think about the Big Plan.  The consultation was open to:

• Anyone with a learning disability
• Carers, or those with someone in their family who has a learning disability
• Those work with people with learning disabilities
• Private businesses or not for profit organisations that support people with learning disabilities, or their carers
• Members of the general public

The Big Plan can be found on the link below. People were invited to have their say by using the online survey or by completing and returning the questionnaire in the post.  We also held two special meetings to discuss the Big Plan.

Over the next few months the draft plan will be revised in light of the feedback received before final publication in the early summer.
