DSCR delay update

Due to ongoing quality assurance of the data, the January 2025 release of digital social care record (DSCR) uptake statistics was delayed. These statistics were partially presented in the February 2025 report.

The remaining statistics are presented in the March 2025 report. This includes new national-level statistics on estimates of the proportion of adult social care provider locations in England that are in the process of implementing a DSCR.
