| Annotation | Councils spend nearly £8 billion net each year on residential care and home care (over 70% of all their expenditure on adult care services). Over three-quarters of a million adults receive these services through councils each year. Approximately half of all places in care homes are occupied by adults whose care is funded in some measure by. councils. This report provides detailed analysis of the findings of returns from councils for April to September 2009 against the most recent quality ratings (May 2010). The data shows some variation in the quality of services purchased by councils, though this has been reducing over time. As at September 2009, councils purchased care for 230,000 adults in care homes. More than eight out of 10 (86%) of these adults were living in care homes rated "good" or "excellent". The percentage was lower for those in homes offering nursing care for older people (82%). The weblink http://www.cqc.org.uk/newsandevents/newsstories.cf... refers to this and two related reports.
