This article aims to describe support services for informal carers and identify the characteristics of the care recipient and municipality that are associated with the allocation of these services. Care recipients were selected from the Norwegian Registry for Primary Health Care on 31 December 2019. Cases received care benefits (N = 9,816), respite care in institutions (N = 2,594) or respite care at home (N = 7,346); controls received home-based services only (N = 193,402). Municipal data were retrieved from the Municipality-State-Reporting register. Child and adolescent care recipients most often received support services, but allocation to this age group differed extensively between municipalities. Greater cognitive disability and cohabiting increased the odds of support services.
