Adults aged 18-64 receiving long-term community support at year-end - WMCA

This measure is the total number of users (aged 18 to 64) receiving community-based support as at the year end 31 March. The measure is the denominator for the Direct Payments ASCOF measure (aged 18-64). Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.
Adults aged 18-64 receiving a direct payment or direct payment at year-end - WMCA

This measure is the number of users (aged 18 to 64) receiving direct payments or part direct payments as at the year end 31 March.

Social care-related aged 65+ quality of life (score out of 24) - WMCA

The measure shows the proportion of all adults (aged 18-64) with a learning disability who are known to the council, who are recorded as living in their own home or with their family. The information would have to be captured or confirmed within the reporting period in the year to 31 March. The definition of individuals 'known to the council' is currently restricted to those adults with a learning disability (with a primary client group of LD) who have been assessed or reviewed by the council during the year (irrespective of whether or not they receive a service) or who should have been reviewed but were not. 'Living on their own or with their family' is intended to describe arrangements where the individual has security of tenure in their usual accommodation, for instance because they own the residence or are part of a household whose head holds such security. The change from ASC-CAR to SALT resulted in a change to who is included in the measure. Previously, this measure included 'all adults with a learning disability who are known to the council.' However, SALT table LTS001a only captures those clients who have received a long-term service in the reporting year. Furthermore, the measure now only draws on the subset of these clients who have a primary support reason of Learning Disability Support; those clients who may previously have been included in the client group Learning Disability in ASC-CAR might not have a primary support reason of Learning Disability Support, and are now excluded from the measure. Furthermore, the SALT return was changed in 2015-16 to enable councils to separate the number of people accessing long-term support who are in prison. The Prison column was added as a voluntary data item to SALT table LTS001a. This table is used to calculate ASCOF measures 1E and 1G. As the Prison column is voluntary, councils do not need to complete it. If a council does separate clients that are in prison, the clients in prison will not contribute to their ASCOF denominator. After reviewing the 2015-16 data, very few councils reported clients with learning disabilities in prison so it is not felt that this change will impact on comparability over time for 2015-16. Only covers people receiving partly or wholly supported care from their Local Authority and not wholly private, self-funded care. Data source: SALT.

Percentage of care users with control over their daily life - WMCA

This is the proportion of respondents to the Adult Social Care Survey who felt they had control over their daily life by answering 1 or 2 to the question: Which of the following statements best describes how much control you have over your daily life? The measure is defined by determining the percentage of all those responding either ‘I have as much control over my daily life as I want’ or “I have adequate control over my daily life”. These two responses have been chosen to focus the measure on those individuals achieving the best outcomes, identifying no or limited need in this area. The measure gives an overall indication of the reported outcome for individuals – it does not, at present, identify the specific contribution of councils’ adult social care towards the outcome.

Median house price - Birmingham Constituency

This is the median house price for residential property sales (all dwellings sold and registered) in a given period of four consecutive quarters, in the area. They are calculated using open data from the HM Land Registry (LR), a source of comprehensive record-level administrative data on property transactions. They are updated twice a year, in spring and autumn. The LR Price Paid data are comprehensive in that they capture changes of ownership for individual residential properties which have sold for full market value and cover both cash sales and those involving a mortgage. The median is the value determined by putting all the house sales for a given year, area and type in order of price and then selecting the price of the house sale which falls in the middle. Note that a transaction occurs when a change of freeholder or leaseholder takes place regardless of the amount of money involved, and a property can transact more than once in the time period. The LR records the actual price for which the property changed hands. This will usually be an accurate reflection of the market value for the individual property, but it is not always the case. In order to generate statistics that more accurately reflect market values, the LR has excluded records of houses that were not sold at market value from the dataset. The remaining data are considered a good reflection of market values at the time of the transaction. The LR Price Paid data are not adjusted to reflect the mix of houses in a given area. Fluctuations in the types of house that are sold in that area can cause differences between the median transactional value of houses and the overall market value of houses. Therefore these statistics differ from the new UK House Price Index (HPI) which reports mix-adjusted average house prices and house price indices. If, for a given year, house type and area there were fewer than 5 sales records in the LR Price Paid data, the house price statistics are not reported.

Percentage household waste recycled - WMCA

This is the percentage of household waste arisings which have been sent by the authority for reuse, recycling, composting or anaerobic digestion.

The denominator is the total tonnage of household waste collected.

This was previously reported as NI 192. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.

Under 18 conception rate (1,000) - WMCA

Indicator Overview: Conception rate per 1,000 women under age 18 is sourced from the ONS Conception Statistics Tables. Age Calculation: A woman's age at conception is calculated as the number of complete years between her date of birth and the date she conceived. For example, a woman may conceive at age 19 and give birth at age 20. Calendar Year Considerations: Conception and birth may occur in different calendar years. Therefore, the number of conceptions to women of a given age in a given year does not match the number of maternities and abortions to women of the same age in the same year. Population Basis: Rates are based on the population of women: * All ages: 15 to 44 * Under 16: 13 to 15 * Under 18: 15 to 17 Population Estimates: The population figures used to calculate rates are mid-year estimates of the resident population for England and Wales, based on the Census. Historical Context: This indicator was formally known as NI 112. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.
