This Statistics Release presents the figures for free personal care and free nursing care in Scotland in 2008-2009. Free personal and nursing care was introduced in Scotland on 1 July 2002. Prior to this date, people could be charged for personal care services provided in their own home and many residents in care homes had to fully fund their care from their own income and savings. People aged 65 and over can no longer be charged for personal care services provided in their own homes, although they can be charged for domestic services. People aged 65 and over who live in care homes who are assessed as self-funders can receive a weekly payment towards their personal care and can receive an additional payment if they require nursing care; the remainder of the care home fees they still fund themselves. This release presents information from a variety of sources to give a picture of: the number of people benefiting from free personal care and free nursing care in Scotland; and how much Local Authorities spend on personal care services.
