The purpose of this Statistics Release is to present the latest national figures for home care services provided or purchased by local authorities in Scotland.

All figures relate to the last week in March (that is the week which includes 31 st march 2009) and are provisional and, as such, may be subject to change. The final figures will be published in future publications.
