The Scottish Government Adult Social Care Reform Programme is currently working to reform social care in Scotland. This inquiry will not replicate that work.
They want to explore the future delivery of social care in Scotland and what is required to meet future needs.
What does the Committee want to know?
- Experiences of social care in Scotland
They are seeking views from people with lived experience of receiving adult social care or being a carer for someone receiving care. They would like to hear:
- People’s stories and experience of social care in Scotland.
- What people would change about their experience of social care?
- The future delivery of social care in Scotland
They are keen to receive responses to the following questions:
- How should the public be involved in planning their own and their community’s social care services?
- How should Integration Joint Boards commission and procure social care to ensure it is person-centred?
- Looking ahead, what are the essential elements in an ideal model of social care (e.g. workforce, technology, housing etc.)?
- What needs to happen to ensure the equitable provision of social care across the country?
