Scottish Government Social Care Survey (SGSCS)
[We have catalogued the latest/last two sweeps (2015 &2016) for the CASCID catalogue.] The Social Care Survey collated client‑level administrative data from all 32 Scottish local authorities on people assessed for, and receiving, social care services (e.g., home care, telecare/community alarms, housing support, meals, and self‑directed support). Its purpose was to provide consistent national statistics to inform policy and service delivery, and to enable linkage with health datasets for research on interactions between health and long‑term care.
