Hampshire was awarded 4 blobs (acceptable) for this indicator, and showed performance above average.
This indicator is a Best Value Indicator, affecting assessment of Hampshire's corporate health. The target for 2002-3 was 78%, which we missed. Actual performance was 52%, which highlighted the fluctuations to be expected between years given the small number of young adults involved and the varying ability mixes often apparent between years. This indicator is also impacted by the decision of increasing numbers of children to attend college; thus not leaving care at 16 and distorting the indicator. As these students leave care in later years with better qualifications, this causes a blip in the results rather than establishing a trend of poorer results. This indicator is reflected in the Public Service Agreement which includes targets for the percentage of children leaving care with 5 A*-G grades (Target 7a) and the number with 5 A*-C grades (Target 8).

Hampshire was awarded 1 blob (investigate urgently) for this indicator.
An underlying factor in Hampshire's reduced performance was the creation of the specialist team to support, and maintain contact with, care leavers during the year. While moving into centralised teams, and resolving accommodation issues, key dates for contact were missed. This was a temporary problem and current performance is near the national averages.
This indicator is a Best Value Indicator, affecting assessment of Hampshire's corporate health. The target for 2002-3 was 45%, similar to the national average, which was missed.

Hampshire was awarded 2 blobs (ask questions) for this indicator and showed very poor performance in comparison with other Shire authorities. This is a re-defined indicator so no trend information is available.
During recent year's Hampshire has been restructuring in-house residential provision. This has resulted in reduced occupancy rates, and consequential increased unit costs. Additionally, some other children's homes have become surplus to needs, also impacting on the cost base. As these issues are resolved it is hoped that unit costs fall closer to national levels.

This indicator should be looked at alongside C28 (intensive home care per 1,000 older people) and C26 and C27 (admissions to residential care). From this it can be seen that the problem is not that too many people are admitted to residential care, but that too few are supported to live in the community using intensive residential care. More details on this are provided under C28 analysis.

This indicator is a Best Value Indicator, affecting assessment of Hampshire's corporate health. The target for 2002-3 is £462, similar to the regional average, and this was achieved. The high level of costs in the region is linked to the regional shortage in market capacity for both domiciliary and residential care.

As users with lower needs move into supported accommodation with their own tenancies, in line with commissioning plans, they are removed from this indicator. This leaves clients with higher needs predominating, thus increasing the unit costs.

This indicator is a Best Value Indicator, affecting assessment of Hampshire's corporate health. The target for 2002-3 was 10%, mid way through the range indicating best practice. As expected we fell short of this target. The Public Service Agreement sets a target of 84 children to be adopted in 2004-5; although some can be offset against a permanent 'friends and family' placement not leading to adoption. The target of 84 children in 2004-5 needs to be compared with the 36 adopted during 2002-3.

Hampshire was awarded 2 blobs for this indicator and showed poor performance. Despite this Hampshire performed better than many other local authorities; probably indicating problems around the provision of this service in the South of England
This indicator is a Best Value Indicator, affecting assessment of Hampshire's corporate health. The target for 2002-3 was set at 6.3% in the Best Value Performance Plan, and we over achieved on this.
It is expected that mid year performance for 2003/4 will be around 8, reflecting a significant increased investment in this service.
This indicator was a required part of the Public Service Agreement; due to our historic poor performance against national targets. Accordingly, Hampshire has been set a target of 18 households per thousand older people to be achieved by 2004/5. This will entail a threefold increase in provision, so it is not yet certain that this stretched target can be achieved within existing resources - both Hampshire's financial constraints and the ability of local market capacity to provide the service.

This is linked to both positive policy issues and changes in the demographic mix. Workers in the childcare sector are trying to re-locate children placed outside Hampshire within the county, to facilitate contact with relatives in line with government objectives. There is also the mix of children to consider, older children are moving in to hostels ready for when they leave care and children with disabilities frequently remain within a school or other residential setting. Further work is being done to benchmark our data with other authorities.

This might be due to availability of single beds given the limited market capacity in the sector; it might also be linked to our historic unit costs (B13) which were low in comparison with other authorities in the area.

Hampshire was awarded 4 blobs for this indicator and showed average performance. This reflects well on the county considering the size of the operation in comparison with many other authorities.
Most authorities provide a limited range of equipment, currently relying on Health to supply a wider range, and do not fit equipment which requires the use of a technicians service. Hampshire has been a leader in joint working with Health on community equipment and has provided an integrated service for many years, including a technicians service to install simpler aids and adaptations. This is consistent with the NSF for older people, and will be required of all authorities within the next few years.
For 2003-4 the PAF target indicator is being changed to the percentage of equipment delivered within 7 days, again in line with the NSF targets.
This indicator is a Best Value Indicator, affecting assessment of Hampshire's corporate health. The target for 2002-3 was set at 95% in the Best Value Performance Plan, although we are did not achieve this following clarification of the counting rules. However, performance has improved on that for 2001-2 by around 3%.

Hampshire was awarded 1 blob for this indicator and showed poor performance, despite having significantly improved performance since 2001-2.
Historically, Hampshire has not provided all users with a statement of needs; this was seen as overly bureaucratic, expensive and confusing for many clients. Accordingly there are neither automated ways to provide such statements nor robust counting mechanisms. Work on improving this is ongoing, given the high profile of this indicator.
This indicator is a Best Value Indicator, affecting assessment of Hampshire's corporate health. The target for 2002-3 was 85%, which we fell short of due to current contractual relationships with many small, voluntary group providers. This has now been addressed, and another significant rise in performance is expected for 2003-4.

Hampshire was awarded 3 blobs for this indicator and showed good performance. Historically, Hampshire has not reviewed all users to whom a service was provided; this was seen as overly bureaucratic, expensive and confusing for many clients. This was particularly true for users receiving services from a funded voluntary body or a specialist service such as mental health "pop in" centres. Accordingly there are neither automated ways to provide recording of "simple" reviews by providers nor created robust counting mechanisms. Work on improving this is ongoing, given the high profile of this indicator.

This indicator has been revised to cover all delayed discharges, and is now monitored through the SITREP reporting system. Details in this are agreed between NHS staff and Hampshire SSD, and will form the basis of the recharge (fining) system due to start operation in the new year.
Hampshire was awarded 2 blobs (ask questions) for this indicator. Work in resolving issues around delayed transfers of care is very high profile, with both councillors and the DoH.
A subset of this indicator, dealing with clients over 75 years of age, is included as a target in the Public Service Agreement. As this data is no longer collected, or externally assessed, Hampshire has contacted the SSI to initiate discussions on a suitable replacement indicator.

Hampshire was awarded 3 blobs for this indicator and showed good performance. However, it must be realised that data for this indicator was collected for the first time in 2001/2 and many council's were unsure of definitions and counting rules and using a variety of sampling tools to assess their performance.
This indicator is being split for 2003-4; one PI measuring time from contact to completed assessment, the other time from assessment to provision of the complete package of care. As with many authorities, Hampshire's systems cannot cope with this change and negotiations around sampling methods are ongoing.

Hampshire was awarded 4 blobs for this indicator, showing below average performance. The SSI considers good practice to be between 60-70%. Hampshire is probably considered to be screening out too few people from services at assessment, whereas the reality is that we are assessing too many people before the provision of low level services which are usually approved. This is a direct consequence of the enumeration work done to maximise the count of users helped to live at home (C29-C32).

Although very strong in the provision of Direct Payments for 18-64 year olds, Hampshire has not historically promoted Direct Payments as much for Older Persons services. The bandings are set at a level where this must be done to achieve 4 blobs - but it must be borne in mind that this might lead to a reduction in households counting against C28 Intensive Care.

Hampshire was awarded 2 blobs for this indicator, based on a user survey with over 600 responses received.
No data nationally is yet available for comparison.
From free text responses, it would appear that there are 3 main areas of dissatisfaction:
· That care workers are not available at the times users want to get up or go to bed, users have to achieve "best fit" between their desired times and staff availability
· That care workers frequently appear rushed, not having time for social contact with the users - with many reporting carers staying for slightly less than their contracted hours
· That minimal or no help is available with housework
This survey will be repeated in 3 years time.
