Integration of adult health and social care in Scotland: consultation analysis report

In May 2012, the Scottish Government launched a public consultation to inform recommendations for legislation to support the integration of adult health and social care in Scotland. This report presents the views expressed by respondents to the consultation proposals. Scottish Ministers’ proposals for integration of adult health and social care, as described in the consultation document, are based on four key principles: health and social care services should be firmly integrated around the needs of individuals, their carers and other family members; there should be strong and consistent clinical and care professional leadership in the planning and provision of services; the providers of services should be held to account jointly and effectively for delivering improved outcomes; and services should be underpinned by flexible, sustainable financial mechanisms that give priority to the needs of the people they serve, rather than the organisations through which they are delivered.
