| Annotation | Key Indicators Graphical System (KIGS) on personal social services and local authority statistics contains data from 1990-91 onwards. Until 1996, only a printed version was available but since then the data has only been released on either floppy disk and CD-ROM formats. When these are released twice yearly they therefore replace earlier versions of KIGS. KIGS include the latest available data amongst others on budgets, expenditure, unit costs, home care, meals services, places in residential homes, supported residents. Generally these indicators show that service provision, and the costs of such provision, can vary widely even when comparing authorities that are apparently similar. The accompanying licence agreement allows for disks to be freely installed on as many computers as required. The accompanying pamphlet discusses the data sources in general terms; and lists the sources or returns used. It gives information about the treatment of missing data, and classification of authorities used in the graphical system. An internet version of KIGS is planned which would replace CD-ROM and floppy disk formats. (KJ). |
