Adult Social Care
Dear East Ayrshire Council,
Please could you provide information for the following FOI requests
of non residential adult social care packages thanks.
Please could you provide information as to the main differences in
the type of care that is funded by the council under FAC criteria
and the type of care which has been funded by the Independent
Living Fund (ILF). (Could you perhaps highlight things that LA
Care
packages would not usually cover that ILF would or visa versa)
Please could you provide the numbers of care packages which include
overnight care. If possible can you provide this for the past 5
years, and also if possible can you show which of these are
jointly
funded with ILF or just LA funded.
Please could you provide information on the number of LA funded
care visits which last for 30 minutes or less, expressed in
percentage or numerical terms of all care visits.
Please could you provide information of any projected reduction in
budget within Adult Social care over the next 5 years and indeed
details of any reduction in budget over the last 2 years.
Yours faithfully,
Paul Taylforth
Thank you for your request for information.
A response will be provided within 20 working days

Dear Mr. Taylforth,
I am presuming (unless you clarify otherwise) that you are referring to
the now superseded Fair Access to Care Services Guidance on eligibility
criteria for adult social care. Please note that this guidance did not
apply in Scotland. However, I attach for your information a copy of the
Council’s eligibility criteria for Community Care services.
In 2011/12 768 individuals received care at home support that included
evening or overnight service provision (source: Statutory Performance
Indicator 2011/12).
Information relating to the length of visits is held in individual case
files. We do not hold this information on an aggregated basis.
Information relating to the Council’s budget is available on the Council’s
website. For your information I attach the recently approved budget
proposals for the next three financial years.
This response is being provided under the Freedom of Information
(Scotland) Act 2002.

with, you have certain rights, as set out in the attached leaflet.
