Proportion of requests for support from new clients that resulted in 100% NHS Funded care, for adults aged 65 and over (11511) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the proportion of requests for support by new clients aged 65 and over which resulted in care entirely funded by the NHS. If the local authority will have no further responsibility for clients whose support is being 100% funded by the NHS, then this category will apply. A new client is defined as an individual who was not in receipt of long term support at time of the request. This is expressed as a proportion of all requests for support from new clients aged 65 and over.
Each request for support can only have one sequel counted - this is the response made to the client in terms of any type of support provided. These are applied using a hierarchy of sequels choosing the first which applies according to the order which flows from Short Term Support to Maximise Independence (ST-MAX); long term support; 100% NHS funded; end of life; ongoing low level; short term other; universal / signposted services; no services (deceased); no services (other).
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.
