To answer this query:

For Question 1 we have looked for those reviews (Strength Based Assessment Review, Short Term Reviews, Re-Assessments with a care package in place following D2a and Third SBA Reviews which are placeholders for a scheduled Assessment) with an incoming date prior to 30-Nov-22 and are not completed.

For Question 2, we have filtered out those reviews from Question 1 that have scheduled date prior to 30-Nov-22. The assessments become immediately overdue.

Please note: We have 3 categories of Reviews, a 6 week Short Term Support Plan review that reviews the Support Plan, this directly follows the Support Plan and an annual review following the 6week Short Term Support Plan Review that reviews the Strength Based Assessment (SBA). After the initial SBA review, a client is reviewed annually, up to a total of 3 annual reviews in succession before being re-assessed. We have also counted planned Assessments as reviews for clients currently in receipt of a service following D2A Discharge.

We have not included reviews scheduled post 30 November 2022.
