Notes:
1. Private nursing homes subject to the Nursing Homes Registration (Scotland) Act 1938 (as amended), or the Mental Health Act 1960/1984. It also includes a few "other" establishments, e.g. hospices registered under the Act.
2. The figures shown are based on information supplied by nursing homes at the end of the financial year. It is understood from health boards that a small number of other nursing homes have not been able to provide the information requested. Data from these nursing homes (around 30 in total) and data from private hospitals also registered under the Acts, are not included in the table. For this reason caution should be used when interpreting the trends in the table. Any change in respite admissions could be due to non-submission of data in any year. Health boards with particular issues are noted in the table above.
3. Patients admitted on a non-permanent basis to assist their normal carer.
4. Health board area refers to that of the private nursing home and is not necessarily the normal health board area of residence of the patient receiving respite.
5. Data for this health board are affected by incomplete returns across one or both years, as referred to in note 2 above.
