Care Homes: Dementia
(asked on 10th March 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 2 March 2020 to Question 18517, how many Deferred Payment Agreements have been agreed between local authorities and people aged over 65 in each year since 2014.
The following table shows the number of new Deferred Payment Agreements (DPAs) for people aged 65 and over:
Financial Year | New DPAs agreed during the year | Number of Councils with Adult Social Services Responsibilities submitting data |
2018-19 | 3,275 | 152 |
2017-18 | 3,080 | 151 |
2016-17 | 2,845 | 152 |
This data on DPAs was first collected in 2015-16, and so we are unable to provide data from before this date. Data from 2015-16 has not been included as the collection was not mandatory at this time, and so data was only provided by 55 CASSRs (Councils with Adult Social Services Responsibilities).
All DPA figures quoted have been rounded to the nearest five as per the NHS Digital publications. The counts of DPAs are based on CASSRs in England only.
