Summarises information collected from Health and Social Care (HSC) Trusts on adults receiving domiciliary care services from the statutory and independent sectors during a survey week in September 2015. It details information on the numbers of clients receiving domiciliary care, visits, contact hours and intensive domiciliary care provision. The results reported include that approximately 321,987 domiciliary care visits were provided by HSC Trusts, 4 per cent less than the number during the survey week in 2014. Of these visits 34 per cent were provided by the statutory sector and 66 per cent by the independent sector. A total of 6,635 clients received a domiciliary care visit lasting 15 minutes or less, almost three in ten (29 per cent) of all clients receiving domiciliary care. (Edited publisher abstract)
