We are informed by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) that the numbers of nursing homes inspected in South Tyneside and England in each year since 2003-04 are as shown in the table. CSCI does not collect data for Tyne and Wear, which is not a council with adult social services responsibility area.
Information for the period between 2000 and that shown in the table is not held centrally. CSCI only has inspection records from the time of the establishment of its predecessor, the National Care Standards Commission (NCSC), in 2002. During the first months of NCSC’s existence, there was a delay in registering some homes, so complete data for 2002-03 are not available.
