The number of patients with diagnosed learning disabilities and the prevalence as
recorded on the GP QOF disease registers (aged 18+ years) is illustrated over time in
Table 60 for 2006/07 to 2008/09 (the disease registers commenced 2004/05, but the
learning disabilities was a new measure introduced 2006/07). The latest list size refers
to the registered population as at 1 st January 2010, but the number and prevalence on
the disease register is as at 31 st March 2010 (the same definitions used in QOF), and
this means that the prevalence can be biased if large population changes have occurred
over this three month period (e.g. Y02747, Y02786, Y02896 and Y02748 all opened
between 5 th October 2009 and 11 th January 2010). The latest list size for B81668 (Dr
EG Stryjakiewicz) relates to 2006/07. Some practices were not in existence for all the
years so information is not applicable (N/A).
