Adult Social Care - Client Level Data (CLD)

Dataset

Summary

Effective From:
01 April 2023
Applies To:
Community or integrated healthcare : Community healthcare services

Documentation

Description:
The specification has been co-developed with LAs and stakeholders, ensuring continuity with the current aggregate collections which were designed jointly with LAs, ADASS, NHSD and DHSC. The ASC CLD Specification includes data items needed to reproduce the SALT metrics, as well as additional data items that will enhance the collection and provide essential information across a range of areas, including charging reform. Most of the content from the existing SALT collection in relation to service users and carers is covered, except for intermediate care data currently reported in the SALT STS004 table. Key additions to the specification include additional carer information and a new client funding status field to enable monitoring of the impact of charging reform on LA activity. This new field is intended to support the identification of client funding arrangements and their journey through ASC as part of the Care Act reform which is scheduled to go-live in October 2023. Changes have been kept to a minimum, to avoid undue burden on LAs.
