Number of clients aged 65+ accessing nursing care during the year (11347) Metric type
- Help text
- This captures the number of clients aged 65 or over accessing long term support: nursing during the year.
Long Term support encompasses any service or support which is provided with the intention of maintaining quality of life for an individual on an ongoing basis. It will be allocated on the basis of national eligibility criteria following an assessment of need and be subject to regular review. This category is further broken down by the primary setting in which an individual receives services: Nursing will apply to those clients who live in registered care homes where nursing services are also provided, including 'Funded Nursing Care' (FNC).
Any comparison using this data from 2020/21 and 2021/22 must take into account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on both activity numbers and spending. The differing scale of cases around the country, when the impacts occurred, and financial support provided will also affect any comparison between authorities. This makes any form of comparative analysis much more complicated and potentially misleading.
