Under the Freedom of Information Act, I am requesting information regarding supported living and residential care services for adults with a primary support need of learning disabilities (LD).
Long term care is provided to clients on an ongoing basis and has been allocated on the basis of eligibility criteria / policies (i.e. an assessment of need has taken place) and are subject to regular review. Please refer to the following link for further clarification, if needed (https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/data-collections-and-data-sets/data-collections/social-care-collection-materials-2024/salt-data-return-2023-2024-guidance/lts001a).
Supported living may also be called Supported accommodation or Supported housing and is a housing scheme where housing, support and care services are provided to help people with disabilities live as independently as possible in the community.
Total placements is the total number of active funded placements in that period, included those carried over from previous years.
New placements are those newly commissioned in that period only, ie not carried over from a previous year.

For financial year FY26, please provide the full year figure as at the date of your response. For financial year FY27, please provide a forecast or budgeted number of placements if available.
