Proportion of requests for support from new clients that resulted in no services, for adults aged 65 and over (11512) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the proportion of requests for support from new clients aged 65 and over which resulted in no services being provided (other - not deceased). In this case, the client may have low level needs which cannot be supported by the council and there is no universal service or obvious third party which could help them. This category also applies to clients where local authority'support was offered on the basis of eligible needs, but the client declined such support (for any reason except that they will be self-funding). This may occur when clients wish to try and remain independent without any outside help, or for any number of other reasons unconnected with their self-funding status. 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.
