Last week, NHS Digital released their annual adult social care activity and finance report. Net real spend has increased in recent years but is still not back to levels of spend a decade earlier. 1/4
Despite rising numbers of adults needing support, the number actually accessing support reduced by 3% from 2015/16-2019/20. 2/4
Included in the NHS Digital release was a one-off data collection for June and Sept 2020. The first phase of the pandemic saw sharp reductions in numbers of people accessing long-term support. 3/4
The high death rate in care homes and the fear it has lead to surely plays a part in these trends. Regions where deaths have been greater have experienced the largest reductions. 4/4
