Hi Aejaz,
Yes, good point, that (child/adult) should have been on the list. So that makes the simple-stats-list:
[1] Suggested Stats (???)
*AREA
*Caseload (Adult/Child/Condition Specific?)
* Type of EAT intervention:
* Number of installations in service
* Number of yearly referrals
* Breakdown by client condition
* Number of yearly installs
* Breakdown by client condition
Cheers.
Simon

Hi Simon
Yes, these stats would be a very useful! We've been tracking many of these figures since our service started in January this year. However, we are a service mainly working with adults, where the stats will look very different from those for the children's service. It would be useful to make that distinction, especially with regards to commissioners and to divide it by area of EAT. For example, there seem to be are many more initiatives around the country (post-CAP) for AAC provision for children, whereas for adults it is still pretty much seems to be a post-code lottery. Similiarly, I would suspect that there is greater ECS provision for adults rather than children. Being aware of these distinctions from the very start within these stats would really help push for more provision for different ages groups and within different sectors where needed.
I'll send you our stats next week.
Cheers,
Aejaz
