Case reference FOI2023/02032
Published 18 January 2024
Request
I would like to submit a Freedom of Information request to understand the Learning Disabilities support offered by your Local Authority to adults aged 18-64. I am looking for information on care provided in both Residential care and Supported living settings.
I have attached an excel spreadsheet to aid in collecting the data that I have requested. I would be grateful if you could use it as a template for your response.
The data I would like to request is the following, for the financial years ending March 2019, March 2020, March 2021, March 2022, March 2023 and H1 of the 2024 financial year (April 2023 to September 2023) (please see attached excel for details):
1. The number of people supported in:
o Residential care settings
o Supported living settings
2. The number of new placements made in:
o Residential care settings
o Supported living settings
3. The number of people discharged from:
o Residential care settings
o Supported living settings
4. The average weekly fee across all people supported in:
o Residential care settings
o Supported living settings (the portion of the fee relating to the care support)
o Supported living settings (the portion of the fee relating to the housing support)
5. The average weekly fee across new placements only in:
o Residential care settings
o Supported living settings (the portion of the fee relating to the care support)
o Supported living settings (the portion of the fee relating to the housing support)
6. The average weekly fee across discharged people only from:
o Residential care settings
o Supported living settings (the portion of the fee relating to the care support)
o Supported living settings (the portion of the fee relating to the housing support)
7. The median time in days from referral (when the Local Authority issues a request for a placement) to placement (when the service user enters the care setting) in:
o Residential care settings
o Supported living settings
For all items, please provide the information split across:
o Where the care setting is "in-area" (the local area covered by the Local Authority)
o Where the care setting is "out-of-area" (outside the local area covered by the Local Authority)
Please refer to the attached excel spreadsheet which lays out this request in a clear format.
For clarification:
- I am not sure about the distinction between supported in or supported by, I am referring to people using those services (i.e. staying in residential care homes or supported living homes)
- For new placements, I am referring to service users who have just started in the period, yes
- Please consider people discharged from residential and supported living settings (i.e. stopped receiving care support)
