In 2010/11 more Clinical staffed 24/7 services were established including a service for Homeless Adults (17 beds) and additional Community Options services (10 beds). However, in 2010/11 there were also changes to definitions relating to the national data collection protocols which effectively re-categorised services from Clinical staffed 24/7 to Staffed less than 24 hours. This included respite services (27 beds), Community Supported Residential Units (75 beds) and another long term accommodation service (12 beds).
The net effect of these changes resulted in a decrease in the number of available (Clinical staffed 24/7) places per 100,000 people from 7.1 in 2009/10 to 3.1 in 2010/11 but increased the number of available (Staffed less than 24 hours) places per 100,000 from 4.1 in 2009/10 to 8.9 in 2010/11.
