Professor John Robertson OBA From Public Health Scotland today: The estimated number of people assessed and waiting for a care at home package was 2,873 on 3 March 2025.1 All things being equal, with 10 times the population, England might be expected then to have around 28 700 assessed but still waiting. According to the latest data from GOV UK, for September 2024, it was 44 000, down from 51 000 in the previous quarter.2 So, around 52% more of those assessed and waiting for care at home package, are still waiting in England, compared to that in Scotland.
