Care Homes Mr. Hoban To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many care homes have been (a) opened and (b) closed in each of the last 10 years. Mr. Ivan Lewis Information is available from the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) for the years from 2002-03, when the National Care Standards Commission began work. Prior to this, data on total numbers of homes were collected by local councils, but figures on numbers opening and closing are not held centrally. CSCI has provided information on registrations and de-registrations of care homes, which is shown in the following table. The number of de-registrations exceeds the number of permanent closures because homes may deregister temporarily, for example, for refurbishment, on change of ownership or when a new manager is appointed. The numbers of permanent closures cannot be identified separately. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |De-registrations|New registrations| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |2002-03 |2,443 |1,916 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |2003-04 |2,941 |2,495 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |2004-05 |1,811 |1,374 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |2005-06 |1,921 |1,578 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |2006-07 |1,681 |1,456 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |2007-081 |1,204 |1,087 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |1 1 April 2007 to 4 March 2008.
