The Department welcomes the Sir Stephen Bubb report, Winterbourne View: Time to Change, commissioned by NHS England.
Officials will work with NHS England to consider the report’s recommendations in the context of the ongoing system-wide Transforming Care programme, established in response to events at Winterbourne View Hospital.
On 13 December 2013, the Department published Winterbourne View: Transforming Care One Year On which was a review of progress to date and the on-going work to ensure the right, high quality care for vulnerable people is delivered.
A further commitment was made in Transforming Care for the Department to publish a further two year on progress report. This will be published in 2015 following the publication of the 2014 Learning Disability Census data. This will set out progress made by the Department’s system partners in implementing the commitments in Transforming Care.
