This survey offers a wide-ranging review of the current state and future prospects for this £20 billion sector, with facts, figures and analysis based on original research. Topics covered include: demand and capacity; market structure; facility openings and closures; the political and regulatory environment; fee rates; corporate penetration and consolidation; profitability; and the impact of public spending cuts. New to this edition is an appendix with financial information for up to four years for all significant providers of care homes and home care for older people. While national demand for care homes has stabilised in recent years, incumbent providers have been challenged by an unexpected surge in new capacity, as care home developers have found ways of moving forward despite bank lending constraints. The authors suggest that the market is becoming increasingly polarised as providers with high exposure to state-funded customers are finding their margins squeezed by funding cuts. Providers with a focus on private payers are said to be finding market conditions less difficult despite the recession. Those with the ability and vision to broaden their business to encompass a continuum of residential and non-residential services are believed to have good opportunities to build brand value with a new generation of care service consumers.

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.

Expenditure is provided for older people, physically disabled adults, learning disabled adults, adults with mental health needs, and asylum seekers. The overall figures indicate that local authorities have reported an increase in adult social services spend from £15.3 billion in 2007-08 to £16.1 billion in 2008-09, this is approximately 5% in cash terms and 3% in real terms.
