Adult social care early invention and prevention

The local level of need for social care prevention includes the entire population of South Tyneside. There are, however, groups that are more at risk than others of requiring support later in life. The following table identifies those groups where population data exists and compares the group estimates to those in the group known to be receiving formal social care support. The "% not receiving social care support" column identifies the population amenable to prevention interventions.
