Details

This release, which will be the final planned release of DoLS quarterly data, presents statistics from quarter 6 of the DoLS collection, covering 1 July 2015 to 30 September 2015.

Supreme Court judgments handed down on 19 March 2014 have led to a substantial increase in the volume of DoLS applications received by councils. As a result, a temporary and voluntary data collection has been introduced to cover the period 1 April 2014 to 30 September 2015.

This quarterly collection enables stakeholders to monitor the scale of the Supreme Court judgments’ impact on councils in a timely way, and allows for any increase in the number of DoLS applications to be quantified and evidenced.

The previous quarterly report for 1 April to 30 June 2015 was published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (now called NHS Digital) and is available on its website.

Read NHS Digital’s annual report for DoLS data collection in 2013 to 2014.
