Summary

Description

This National Indicator Set (NIS) underpins the performance framework for local government and meets the then government's commitment, as set out in the local government White Paper Strong and Prosperous Communities, to introduce a clear set of national outcomes and a single set of national indicators by which to measure them. The NHS Information Centre collects information on 12 of the indicators which relate to social care and mental health services. The social care information provided by Councils with Adult Social Services Responsibilities (CASSRs) and presented in this report is final and relates to the period April 2009 – March 2010. It replaces information in the provisional report which was published on 30 September 2010.
