Statistics concerning the veteran and working age population in nursing or residential care

Care Quality Commission did not have the information requested.

Dear Care Quality Commission,

I am writing to make an open government request for all the information to which I am entitled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

In the below, ‘veterans’ refers to all former members of any of the Armed Services (RAF, Army, Royal Navy or Royal Marines).

Please send me:

Statistics detailing or giving an indication of the number of working age people (16-65 years old) with physical disabilities living in residential or nursing care in the United Kingdom, or failing that, in England and Wales.

Statistics detailing or giving an indication of the number of working age veterans (16-65 years old) living in residential or nursing care in the United Kingdom, or failing that, in England and Wales.

Do you have any policies relating either to veterans in residential care or working age people in residential care?

Could you also please tell me what ways you have of knowing how many veterans there are in residential or nursing care, and what ways you have of knowing the number of working age people in residential or nursing care, either in the UK or in England and Wales?

I would like the above information to be provided to me as electronic copies.

If this request is too wide or unclear, I would be grateful if you could contact me to advise and assist with my request.

If any of this information is already in the public domain, please can you direct me to it, with page references and URLs if necessary.

I understand that you are required to respond to my request within the 20 working days after you receive this letter. I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request.

I look forward to hearing from you, and thank you very much for your assistance.

Yours faithfully,
