Data submitted to Scottish Government using the secure ProcXed system. Outputs rounded to nearest 10 (clients) (applies to current published data only - no rounding on the 2005-09 data currently on ODPP).
Data goes through a validation process when entered into ProcXed, and any unusual/unexpected values are checked with the Local Authority.
“Dementia” is known to be under-recorded in social care management information systems.
Local Authorities vary in how they record people whose reason for receiving a service is frailty due to old age. Some record this as ‘physical disability’ while others record as ‘frail older people’. Therefore when looking at the older age groups these two client groups are best considered together when comparing statistics for different local authorities.
Note: Rates for 2005-09 are likely to use population estimates before rebasing on 2011 Census
