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 purposes of this report the care home industry is segmented in to the following sectors:

* nursing homes

* residential homes

* sheltered housing

Residential home figures prior to 1997 are not included due to local government reorganisation in 1996.

Data for residential care homes for the elderly relates to homes with at least four beds.

At the time of writing, private nursing home data for the year to March 1999 was not available due to it being incomplete, therefore for the purposes of this report 1999 nursing homes figures have been estimated.

The following definitions apply to this report: Nursing homes provide care by qualified nurses to people suffering from sickness, injury or infirmity. Residential homes are run by a number of different organisations as follows:

* Local authority residential care homes are run by local authorities. Places in these homes are allocated through social workers or social services departments.

* Private residential homes are run for profit by organisations and individual proprietors.

* Voluntary residential homes are non-profit making and are run by registered charities and religious organisations.

Sheltered housing is commonly know as retirement housing and is designed specifically for older people. It refers to dwellings located at ground or first floor level or above where a lift is available. The design is based on the standards for general needs housing with additional safety features and a warden service with an emergency call system.

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.
