This analysis focuses on the changes in the over 65 resident care home population of England and Wales. This age group represents most of the care home population: 82.5 per cent in 2011. However, the care home resident population for those aged 65 and over has remained almost stable since 2001 with an increase of 0.3 per cent, despite growth of 11.0 per cent in the overall population at this age. Fewer women but more men aged 65 and over were living as residents of care homes in 2011 compared to 2001; the population of women fell by around 9,000 (-4.2 per cent) while the population of men increased by around 10,000 (15.2 per cent). The gender gap in the older resident care home population has, therefore, narrowed since 2001. In 2011 there were around 2.8 women for each man aged 65 and over compared to a ratio of 3.3 women for each man in 2001.The resident care home population is ageing: in 2011, people aged 85 and over represented 59.2 per cent of the older care home population compared to 56.5 per cent in 2001.

The report presents population based data relating to self-report use and objective measures including hospital admissions in order to provide an overview of the context and extent of health harms and risk behaviour related to drug and alcohol use in Wales. It then focuses on specific age groups: children and young people (aged 0-24 years), working aged adults (aged 25-49 years) and older people (aged 50 years and above) and, where data is available, provide geographic profile by health board and local authority. The report is aimed both at those responsible for providing and planning health and related services that prevent and/or address the harms associated with drug and alcohol misuse in Wales and the wider UK, as well as those with a broader interest in substance misuse, wider social determinants and implications.

This tool identifies statistical neighbours – or similar areas – for adult social care delivery for older people and working age adults with learning disabilities. These are the two largest groups who receive adult social care. The comparable indicators include spending per head, quality of services and access to services. The tool provides a basis for comparing spending and outcomes between councils and helps directors of adult social services and local authority financial leads to find new opportunities for improving adult social care efficiency. It is for use by councils to assess their own performance, and to identify where different approaches in comparable local authorities may provide examples to learn from. It is not meant to be used to make judgements about the relative performance of councils in delivering adult social care services, nor can it provide answers as to what the ‘correct’ price is for care.
