Unfulfilled adult care packages – 2019-2021

Can you please tell me the number of unmet/unfulfilled care packages currently assessed as required by the council but not being delivered by a provider?

On Tuesday 2nd November there were 141 unfulfilledĀ  care packages.

Also whether these can be broken down into those which relate to individuals currently within hospitals and those within the community?

On Tuesday 2nd November 17 of the 141 unfulfilled care packages were for peopleĀ  in hospital, and 124 were for people in the community.

Please note: all clients in community settings are risk assessed to ensure they remain safe, and alternative support is available which is usually in the form of family support.

Is it also possible to give me that same number from one year and from two years ago?

On Tuesday 3rd November 2020 there were 76 unfulfilled care packages, of which 8 were for people in hospital and 68 were for people in the community.

On Tuesday 5th November 2019 there were 95 unfulfilled care packages, of which 21 were for people in hospital and 74 were for people in the community.
