An MSI Landscape report is a new concept - a short format report laid out as a Marketing Presentation. In hardcopy form, the report presents a pair of pages that discuss each report aspect or question shown in the Table of Contents. Thus the question Who are the Leading Hotel Groups in the UK? is supported by a graphic (in this case a pie chart showing market share of the leading chains) and by a table (in this case, the number of bedrooms and the number of hotels of 13 named groups, plus an entry covering the rest of the industry). The facing page states those Facts that you, as the person undertaking the presentation, would be expected to know - in this instance, five paragraphs covering the recent activities of the market leaders and pertinent bullet points to enable you to create a hard-hitting presentation.

The MSI Landscape range has proved to be extremely popular, both in the hardcopy format and in the additional PowerPoint electronic version - packaged ready for you to adapt to your needs or use immediately as a framework for presenting further analysis. MSI Landscapes are also purchased as an entry level report into a particular sector by marketing professionals, financial analysts, market researchers and business information professionals.

DEFINITIONS

For the purpose of this report, MSI have segmented the elderly care home market into the following two sectors:

• nursing homes
• residential homes

Nursing homes provide nursing care by qualified nurses to people suffering from sickness, injury or infirmity. The availability of full-time nursing is the aspect which differentiates nursing homes and residential homes.

Residential homes can be run by a number of different organisations, which include:

• local authority residential care homes, which are also known as Part III homes following the National Assistance Act 1948, which gave local authorities the power to make such provisions. Places for local authority residential homes are allocated through social workers or the social services department
• private residential homes, which are run for profit by private organisations and individual proprietors
• voluntary residential homes are non-profit making and are run by registered charities and religious organisations

Dual registered homes provide the facilities of both nursing and residential homes, therefore a resident does not have to move to a different home in the case of becoming increasingly or less dependent.

The public sector provision of nursing home care principally consists of NHS funded long stay geriatric places. Such places tend to be contracted to the voluntary sector, although there are arrangements under which health authorities have contracted beds in private nursing homes.

Data for public sector nursing home care has been excluded from this report. For the purposes of this report, MSI have solely included care homes for the elderly in the market size. Therefore, all other homes and client groups are excluded from the market size calculation. The market size for nursing homes includes both the elderly and people who are elderly with a chronic illness. All forecasts are based upon the assumption that the current Labour Government remains in power during the forecast period. Furthermore, any proposals which may be made by the Royal Commission during the forecast period have not been taken into account. All values are quoted at current prices unless otherwise specified. MSI have a policy of rounding numbers from five up to the next significant figure. Consequently financial data may differ from source documents.
