Table 4.1 illustrates the age breakdown for physically disabled clients receiving homecare from 1998 to 2000. Prior to 1998 a full age/client breakdown was not provided.
Between 1998 and 2000 there has been a 5 per cent increase (to 53,540) in the number of physically disabled people receiving home care. However, the number of people has fluctuated over this period and fell by 5 per cent between 1999 and 2000. In 2000 only 11 per cent of physically disabled people receiving home care were under 65. The majority of physically disabled people receiving home care were aged between 75 and over (70 per cent in 2000).

Table 4.2 presents a local authority split for the age breakdown of home care for physically disabled people.
In 2000 in Scotland, 13 physically disabled people received home care for every 1,000 of the population aged 16 and over. Eileanan Siar had the highest rate (35.8). Conversely, West Lothian had the lowest rate in Scotland with 5.2 clients per 1,000 of the population aged 16 and over.
This table includes clients who are frail due to old age, therefore, a large proportion of these clients also appear in table 1.5 in Chapter 1. Care should be taken when making comparisons between authorities, as differences may be due to the way councils classify their home care clients rather than indicating differences in service provision.
