8. PSA AND DSO PERFORMANCE
8.1.4 Can the Department state the number
of adults (aged 18 or over) per 100,000 population supported
to live independently at home either directly through social care
or via organisations that receive social services grants in 2008-09 (PSA
indicator 18.4)? Has the Department now set a target for this
indicator? (Q95)
Answer
1. In 2008-09, there were 3,245 adults
people per 100,000 population assisted directly through social
services funded support to live independently. This includes those
supported through services via grant funded organisations.
2. The Department has not set a target against
this indicator. Although it is implicit within the headline indicator
that the proportion should increase, the Department will be looking
at the latest data against the baseline and at how proportionate
this is with the transformational agenda for adult social care
to a more personalised care system as signalled in Putting
People First.
