which is 37% above the national average?

The question is ambiguous without context, but in the UK adult social care sector, the figure most commonly cited as being significantly above the national average is the **staff turnover rate** or **recruitment difficulty index**, not a qualification metric. However, if referring to salary, a Registered Manager’s salary is often **not** 37% above the national average; it is typically competitive but varies by region. If you mean **occupancy rates** in care homes post-pandemic, some sectors saw spikes, but 37% is not a standard benchmark. Most likely, you are referencing a specific statistic from a report on **care worker wages** or **inspection failure rates**. For example, some reports note that care manager salaries in London are ~37% above the UK average. Alternatively, **safeguarding concerns** or **staffing shortages** may be framed this way in recent CQC reports. Please clarify the context (salary, turnover, occupancy, or inspection data) for a precise answer.
