Department of Health Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework 2022-23

Department of Health Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework 2023-24

The Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework demonstrates how well care and support services achieve the outcomes that matter to people. It is used locally and nationally to set priorities for care and support and to measure progress and enable comparison between local authorities in England. A significant amount of the data comes from the annual Adult Social Care Survey and the biennial Survey of Adult Carers which we implement on behalf of NHS England.

Set out below is our performance for 2023-24 and the comparison with the England average.  Figures for 2022-23 are given in brackets.
