Footnotes:
1. Data are collected on DH annual returns HH1 (home help/care),
MS1 (meals services) and DC3 (day centres) for a survey WEEK during
the Autumn. The figures are shown rounded to the nearest hundred.
Components may not therefore add to the totals.
2. Meals to peoples' homes as meals-on-wheels or at luncheon
clubs.
3. Figures are whole-day equivalent places.
5.7 PSS demographic pressures (formerly B7/A2)
Can the Department provide details of the specific inflation
index calculated for social services, and an assessment of the
financial effect of demographic pressures on social services.
The Inflation Index
1. Details of the specific inflation index for personal
social services are set out in table 5.7.1 below.
2. The inflation figures for 1995-96 and 1996-97 were
calculated by the former Cleveland County Council on the basis
of a questionnaire seeking details from local authorities on pay,
running costs and the actual costs of contracted out services.
However, following the recent changes to local government boundaries,
Cleveland County Council no longer exists. The Department of Health
will be producing the index for 1997-98 using broadly the same
method, but has not yet received all of the data required to do
so. The Department, Department for Environment, Transport and
the Regions and Local Government Association are considering alternative
arrangements to continue the work in future years.
