- 1. Does spending more on Adult Social Care result in higher “Social Care related Quality of Life” scores? Based on blog from Adrian Scaife http://blog.tunstall.com/does-spending-more- © Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd. 2014 on-adult-social-care-equal-better-quality-of-life/
- 2. • Intuitively expect higher expenditure on social care services to result in higher Quality of Life scores • Quality of Life scores are based on a survey of 60,000 people receiving social care services • Chart One shows contrary to expectations there appears to be no relationship between expenditure on services and Quality of Life for the Local Authorities who provide Social Care in England © Tunstall Healthcare (UK) Ltd. 2014

- 4. • Looking at Chart One there are an interesting group of authorities that appeared to have high quality of life score and low expenditure per head. This is better illustrated in Chart 2, following. • Authorities in the top left quadrant have higher quality of life (QoL) scores and lower spend per head when compared to the England average. • In effect these authorities could be described as delivering the most effective services per £1 spent.

Editor's Notes
- Chart 1, above, plots each authority against the quality of life score and expenditure per adult on adult social care services. This includes expenditure on residential and nursing care, home care, direct payments and day services. (Here is a full description.) In total this accounts for £13.7bn of expenditure. This of course makes a number of assumptions, notably that funding allocation for service provision is fairly distributed across all authorities.
