Table 5.1 shows the age breakdown of clients in other client groups receiving home care between 1998 and 2000. The number of clients halved between 1998 and 1999, to reach 10,353. This reduction is more likely to be due to re-classification of clients into other more appropriate client groups, rather than a change in the way the service is provided. Between 1999 and 2000 the number of clients receiving home care fell by 4 per cent to 9,918.

Table 5.2 shows the age breakdown, by local authority, of other client groups receiving home care in 2000. In Scotland as a whole, 2.4 people in every 1,000 aged 16 and over receive home care. Dundee City provides the most home care for other client groups in relation to their population, with 18 clients per 1,000 population aged 16 and over, receiving a home care service.
The majority of people in other client groups receiving home care are aged 75 or over, accounting for 59 per cent of all clients. Some local authorities classify older people as 'other vulnerable groups' on the home care return which may explain the high numbers being reported in certain areas.
