Community Care Statistics 2001-02: Referrals, Assessments and Packages of Care for adults - Report of findings from the second year of RAP
-
Last modified date:8 February 2007
This report presents information from the second proper year of the data collection from the Referrals, Assessments and Packages of Care project for adults (RAP). Information presented here relates to the period 1 April 2001 to 31 March 2002.
Main findings
During the year 2001/2002, for England:
Referrals
An estimated 3.35 million screened contacts were made to CSSRs, a slight increase on the figure as a year ago. Around 1.73 million of the screened contacts (or 51 per cent) resulted in further assessment of need or commissioning of ongoing service, with 1.63 million contacts being attended to solely at or near the point of contact.
Assessments
- There were an estimated 1.18 million clients for whom assessments were completed or terminated during the twelve-month period of 1 April 2001 to 31 March 2002. Of these, the majority - 1.02 million (or 86%) - were clients for whom assessments were completed.
- About a third or 334,000 clients for whom assessments were completed were recorded as having informal carers, 24% higher than 2000/01.
- Of those clients with completed assessments (1.02 million), 834,000 had their ethnic group specified. Of these, 95% were of 'White' ethnic origin, 2% had 'Asian or Asian British' as the ethnic origin, and 2% were recorded as having 'Black or Black British' ethnic origin. Around 20% of clients with completed assessments did not have ethnicity recorded.
Packages of care
- There were an estimated 1.63 million clients receiving services (following further assessment) that were provided, purchased, or supported by CSSRs during the year 2001/2002. This is a rise of 4% on the number of clients receiving services in 2000/01.
- Community-based services were provided to 1.37 million or around 84% of clients. 597,000 clients were found to be receiving home care, 364,000 clients received equipment and adaptations as a service following assessment, 322,000 received professional support (e.g. occupational therapy) and 273,000 received day care services (it should be noted that a client may have had more than one type of service provided).
- Around 1.19 million of those receiving services following an assessment were aged 65 or more.
- Almost three quarters of clients receiving services were of the primary client type 'physical and sensory disability or frailty'.
