Proportion of requests for support from new clients that resulted in long term care (excluding prison), for adults aged 18 and over (11540) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the proportion of requests for support from new clients aged 18 and over which resulted in some form of long term care, not including prison. Long term care includes nursing, residential and community care, but excludes long term care provided in prison. 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 18 and over.
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); residential will apply to those clients who live in registered care homes, even if they are also in receipt of some community based services (e.g. day services); community will apply to those who live independently (including those in small group homes, sheltered housing or warden supported accommodation) who receive home or community based services.
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.
