Answer
My Department contacted the South Eastern HSC Trust, they are unable to provide data for years 2024-2026 due to the move to the encompass reporting system and ongoing data validation work. Data available for 2022 and 2023 is below:
| Year | North Down – Nos. in receipt of a care package |
| 2022 | 1331 |
| 2023 | 1359 |
Service user count includes all programmes of care and both Independent Sector & Statutory Sector packages. This excludes service users with a Direct Payment Package and service users under the Adult Disability programme of care with a package within a supported living scheme.
