| Annotation | In this third annual report from the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) to Parliament, Part 1 and appendices present data and trends on expenditure, activity and outcomes for local authority social care service. Part 2 focuses on those people deemed not eligible for social care and those who fund their own care. It provides a national analysis of the numbers of people who fund their own care, eligibility levels and estimates of shortfalls in care; and presents finding from an in-depth study of the experiences of people who are 'lost' to the system. It notes a decrease in numbers of older people using services, from 867,000 in 2003 to 840,000 in 2006. Although the total number of support homecare hours has increased, fewer households are receiving supported homecare: 479,000 in 1997 compared to 358,000 in 2006. Among those receiving no services and no informal care are some 6,000 older people with a disability or impairment and high support needs; and about 275,000 with less intensive needs received. Some 450,000 older people in the current system, who do get support from family and friends - and may also be receiving some services - have a shortfall in their personal care. The Partnerships for Older People Projects (POPPS) which provide support to people with less intensive needs are available to relatively few people (23,699 between May 2006 and April 2007). (RH). |
