Get the Insights you Need to Plan and Grow Your Care Services

Want to understand local population needs and what services your local authority plans to commission? Get Adult Social Care Data (GASCD) is a new, free digital service for CQC-registered care providers. Developed with input from providers, it gives you instant access to data and trends for your area, region and across England. Among other things, use GASCD to:

• Compare your bed occupancy with local averages
• Explore disability prevalence by area
• See what services are in demand

Look out for an email from DHSC on Tuesday 6 January (subject line: Get adult social care data with DHSC’s free service). It will invite nominated individuals to register for early access from 28 January 2026.  Later in the year, you’ll be able to add team members too. Questions? Contact [email protected]
