2018 Report
This is the 2018 Learning Disability Statistics Scotland (LDSS), which reports information on adults with learning disabilities who were known to Scottish local authorities between 2017 – 2018. Please note that Glasgow City Council did not to return any data about adults with learning disabilities for the 2018 collection due to the necessary information governance not being in place with the Scottish Government following the introduction of GDPR. To maintain national relevance, the data provided by this authority for 2017 has been included in this report. Because of this, the data presented in this publication are provisional. Final data for LDSS 2018 will be published when Glasgow City Council submits its data for the 2018 collection.
