*** Values have been consolidated from previous versions of the specification and now apply to carers and prison or community settings and can be identified separately from the service type variable.*** The inclusion of delivery mechanism provides further insight to the financial information reported for each service row. For CLD the Delivery Mechanism is specific to the service line. This is a change to the Service Setting/ Delivery Mechanism methodology described in SALT, which is based on the hierarchy of all services recorded for the client or carer. Part-direct payment is not on the defined list since this can be derived from the mix of service rows for a client. Direct Payment should not be chosen as a delivery mechanism for a person in a prison setting. The variable ‘Self-Funder Metering Only’ should not be used at this time prior to the implementation of charging reform. • Direct Payment • CASSR Managed Personal Budget • CASSR Commissioned Support • Self-Funder Metering Only Data type: Defined List
