Services to adults with disability and marginalised adults

The statistics are relevant for ministries, researchers and nongovernmental organizations as a basis for analyzes of the development in the number of services provided and the recipients’ characteristics and living conditions.

User Needs

The need among users of the statistics is primarily to be able to calculate the development in the number of allocated services and to link information about the recipients’ backgrounds in order to illustrate what effect the services have on the citizens' living conditions. Users of the statistics include ministries, researchers and nongovernmental organizations. The statistics contain data on the recipients who receive the selected services in accordance with the Social Services Act due to a disability or a type of social marginalization. Not all persons with a disability receive one of these services, and therefore the statistics’ definition of disability is limited when compared to many researchers' and nongovernmental organizations' definition of a disability.

User Satisfaction

Statistics Denmark occasionally holds webinars and seminars for the municipalities where reporting etc. is gone over. In addition, the statistics are followed by Ministry of Social Affairs and Senior Citizens and Local Government Denmark (KL) by means of a working group. Statistics Denmark has the impression that the user satisfaction among the municipalities and the end users is increasing. However, the satisfaction was previously affected by the fact that coverage was inadequate as well as the problems the municipalities experienced with the system-system-solutions.
