Autism and Learning Disability: Health Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when she expects to publish the Oliver McGowan Code of Practice on statutory learning disability and autism training.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
Under the Health and Care Act 2022, my Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care is required to issue a Code of Practice to guide providers registered with the Care Quality Commission on how to meet their statutory requirement on learning disability and autism training, under the same act. The code must be laid before Parliament for 40 sitting days before it can be issued. We will set out further information on our plans for the Code of Practice in due course.
