Case reference FOI2022/00503
Published 17 May 2022
Request
Under the FOI Act, I would like to request information regarding your total annual expenditure and average annual expenditure per service user for mental and physical health community nursing and residential care home services. I am requesting this data for the past 5 financial years (FY2016-17, FY2017-18, FY2018-19, FY2019-20, FY2020-21) broken down by the categories in the list below. Please note that the subcategories are there both for additional detail if it is available, but also to provide an example of what primary diagnosis/need we are including.
For the categories I am looking to obtain the information for services users whose primary diagnosis falls into each category, but if you have an alternative method of categorisation, I would be happy to receive that with some explanation of your categorisation method.
If the breakdown by subcategories would be unreasonably time-consuming, you may choose to treat it as optional and solely provide information for the categories. In your reply please also include explanations for each category of what primary diagnosis you have included in those categories.
The categorisations we are interested in obtaining the information for are the below:
• Acquired brain injuries - examples including:
o Traumatic brain injury
o Strokes
o Others
• Neurodegenerative diseases - examples including:
o Huntington's disease
o Multiple sclerosis
o Parkinson's disease
o Motor neurone disease
o Muscular dystrophy
o Cerebral palsy
o Other
• Cognitive disorders - examples including:
o Early-onset dementia
o Severe dementia
o Alzheimer's
o Other
• Psychotic and personality disorders - examples including:
o Psychotic disorders
o Personality disorders
• Learning disabilities and Autistic Spectrum Disorder - examples including:
o General learning disability

o Complex learning disability (learning disabilities with multiple co-morbidities)
• Physical disabilities - examples including:

Response
Please see the attached spreadsheet.
Please note that we do not record this information in the way that you have requested. We record data by a person's care and support needs not by their medical condition. We have provided by primary support reason but please note that some service users may have more than one primary support reason and more than one service.
