Collection and usage attributes | |
Guide for use: | Multiple options may be chosen for co-existing disability group(s) making sure they are different to the option chosen for the primary group. For example, a person with a primary disability group of acquired brain injury (code 5), who also requires support in aspects of their life due to a speech disability and a psychiatric disability, should be recorded as code 10 (speech) and code 11 (psychiatric). Code 5 should not be recorded in this example, since acquired brain injury would already have been reported under the data element Primary disability group. This data element should ideally reflect the views of both the service user and the funded agency. If there is a difference, the funded agency's assessment should be recorded. |
