Comment(s)

• Data from the reference date (December, 31) of the respective year.
• December 31st2011:
  The comparability of the data on recipients of care allowance according to Section 37 SGB XI to previous years is limited - the increase is shown to be too high in the national average. The overall increase in those requiring care is therefore overstated. This information is based on data supplied by the nursing care insurance funds.
