To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the reply by Earl Howe on 8 June (Official Report, cols. 270-2), how many hospital assessment and treatment units or other hospital facilities are registered for people with learning disabilities who have mental illness or challenging behaviour; and how many of these are run by (a) the National Health Service, and (b) private companies.

The Care Quality Commission has 290 locations registered with the service type "Hospital services for people with mental health needs, learning disabilities and problems with substance misuse" and the service user band (among others) of "Learning disabilities or autistic spectrum disorder".

One hundred and eighty two are National Health Service organisations and 108 are run by the remaining sectors which includes private, voluntary and local authority provision but this information is not further disaggregated.
