The introduction of SALT in 2014-15 resulted in changes to the eligible population from which survey samples are selected. Previously, the eligible population of adult social care users for the ASCS had been those in receipt of CASSR-funded services following a full assessment of need (i.e. a snapshot of those eligible for inclusion in RAP table P1). However, with the introduction of SALT, the eligible population has changed to a snapshot of the most closely comparable SALT table, LTS001b, as at the chosen extract date. To be included in table LTS001b a service user must, at the point that data are extracted from CASSR systems, be in receipt of long-term support services funded or managed by the CASSR following a full assessment of need.
Furthermore, a change to the weighting methodology was made in 2014-15. A unique set of weights is calculated for each question by dividing the count of the target population by the count of usable responses to that question (the inverse probability of responding to that question) in each local authority for each stratum. This method is more robust and will produce more accurate results.
Only covers people receiving partly or wholly supported care from their Local Authority and not wholly private, self-funded care.
