Scottish Community Care Statistics 2000

Day Care

Tables 5.3 and 5.4 provide information on day care services for other client groups. Day care figures for other individual client groups are included in Chapters 1 to 4. Please refer to the notes in annex A for definitions on which the data are collected.

In 1998 a new methodology was introduced for dealing with non-response. Care should be taken when comparing time series data before and after 1998 as the figures may not be directly comparable. Please refer to annex A for more details.
