A national review of learning disability services in Scotland, The Same As You? recommended that Health Boards should close all long stay beds by 2005 and reduce assessment and treatment places to specified levels. A psychiatry-led service planning study was carried out in 2007 to find out whether these recommendations had been met. The extent of delayed discharges was also investigated. All 15 Health Boards in Scotland responded and supplied the requested information. There were 388 adults with learning disabilities within inpatient services, 91 of whom were within forensic learning disability services. The age, gender, reasons for admission and length of stay are reported for this inpatient population. Recommendations are made for future recording of delayed discharges and the adequacy of the number of assessment and treatment inpatient places in Scotland is discussed.
苏格兰对学习障碍服务的一项全国性审查《和你一样？》建议，卫生委员会应在2005年前关闭所有长期住院床位，并将评估和治疗床位减少到特定水平。2007年开展了一项由精神病学主导的服务规划研究，以查明这些建议是否得到落实。同时还调查了延迟出院的情况。苏格兰所有15个卫生委员会均作出回应并提供了所需信息。住院服务中有388名成年学习障碍患者，其中91人在法医学习障碍服务范围内。报告了该住院患者群体的年龄、性别、入院原因和住院时间。针对未来延迟出院的记录提出了建议，并讨论了苏格兰评估和治疗住院床位数量的充足性。
