An indicator of whether the client/service user received a Meals Service at any point during the quarter.

This is an optional data item when submitting Q1, Q2 and Q3 data. This data item becomes mandatory when submitting Q4 data and must be submitted if a client has a meal servicer at any point during the financial year.

If the status of meal service support for the client changed at any point during the financial year please record the status of meals at the end of the reporting period or the latest information available. This data should be added to the quarter 4 file regardless of when the meals service started or stopped.

Include both hot meals such as ‘meals on wheels’ or a frozen meal where the client/service user is provided with frozen meals each week.
