This is a report on the social care activity of Councils with Adult Social Services Responsibilities (CASSRs) in England between 1st April 2015 and 31st March 2016. It contains aggregate information mainly taken from council administrative systems used to record the process of assessing eligibility to state funded social care and providing services where people are eligible. This is the second year of the SALT (Short and Long Term) collection and councils were provided with the opportunity to revise their 2014-15 data; as such, some data has been updated from last year. The report shows that there were 1,811,000 requests for support from new clients, which had reached the stage of having a known outcome to that request during the reporting period. 28 per cent of these were from clients aged 18-64, with the remaining 72 per cent from clients aged 65 and over. There were 245,000 completed instances of Short Term Support to Maximise Independence, for new and existing clients during the reporting period. There were 873,000 clients receiving long term support during the reporting period. The report also reveals that there were 387,000 carers in contact with the council, of whom 314,000 (81 per cent) received direct support. There were also 57,000 instances of respite or other support delivered to the cared-for person. A third of carers in contact with the council (131,000) did not receive a review or assessment during the year. Over half the carers in contact with the council (53 per cent) are aged 18-64 and nine per cent (35,000 carers) are aged over 85. (Edited publisher abstract)

A national survey of local authorities conducted by Counsel and Care has revealed that older people who need social care services are subjected to a triple lottery based on where they live; how their local authority applies the eligibility criteria for care services; and the charging policy of their local authority. The National Survey of Local Authority Care Charging and Eligibility Criteria 2006 shows that it is very difficult for older people to access support in the community, unless their needs are very high. Two-thirds of all local authorities surveyed have set their criteria at the top two levels of substantial or critical need, indicating that there are many people whose needs fall below this level and are not being met by social care services.

This article explores whether typologies of care management arrangements for older people can be discerned through the analysis of a series of key indicators. Data were drawn from a survey of all English local authorities, undertaken as part of the PSSRU study 'Mapping and Evaluation of Care Management Arrangements for Older People and those with Mental Health Problems'. Care management arrangements were categorised using a limited number of key indicators chosen on an empirical and an a priori basis. This resulted in the formulation of six categories of care management arrangements of older people, within which approximately 80 per cent of local authorities could be included.
