Details

The NHS social care interface dashboard provides a set of measures indicating how health and social care partners in every local authority area in England are performing.

The dashboard has been developed by the DHSC and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government working with stakeholders.

The dashboard includes a breakdown of delayed days attributable to social care per 100,000 of the population and the equivalent for NHS-attributable delays.

The dashboard should allow areas to compare themselves to similar areas and then have conversations about good practice. It should also provide greater transparency in those local areas that are not performing well to enable improvement support to be targeted.

This dashboard has been updated since December 2017 and the departments will be considering how these metrics could be developed and used in the future.
