Adult Social Care Glossary, v 0.6

*** Values have been consolidated from previous versions of the specification and now apply to carers and prison or community settings and can be identified separately from the service type variable.***

The inclusion of delivery mechanism provides further insight to the financial information reported for each service row.

For CLD the Delivery Mechanism is specific to the service line. This is a change to the Service Setting/ Delivery Mechanism methodology described in SALT, which is based on the hierarchy of all services recorded for the client or carer.

Part-direct payment is not on the defined list since this can be derived from the mix of service rows for a client. Direct Payment should not be chosen as a delivery mechanism for a person in a prison setting.

The variable ‘Self-Funder Metering Only’ should not be used at this time prior to the implementation of charging reform.

• Direct Payment
• CASSR Managed Personal Budget
• CASSR Commissioned Support
• Self-Funder Metering Only
