Public to Help Shape Plans

People across Scotland are being invited to have a say on how a new National Care Service should work.

A programme of meetings will take place over the summer stretching from Dumfries and Galloway to Shetland, including one in Dundee.

There will also be online meetings for anyone who would prefer to join discussions remotely.

Details for all events are now available on the online booking page, with the first will taking place in Stirling on 20th June.

The Dundee event will be held at Hilltown Community Centre on 14th July.

During a visit to the Allied Health Professionals in Bonnyrigg, which includes the 14 health professions that make up the third largest workforce in the NHS Scotland, Social Care Minister Maree Todd spoke with staff about what they want to see from the co-design of the new national approach.

There are unique demands across the country, which is why we’re going to different areas, ensuring communities the length and breadth of Scotland are represented in designing a National Care Service tailored to local needs.

Having listened to care providers, unions and the third sector during the Bill scrutiny process, these meetings will allow anyone who uses care services, has a loved one that relies on care or has worked in the sector to have their say. This will help inform future stages of the Bill as it progresses through the Parliamentary process. 

There is general agreement that social care transformation will be of great benefit. This needs us all to have a shared understanding of what is working well and really focus on what’s needed to support people to thrive with the most suitable care for them. I would encourage everyone to be part of this conversation. To do this you can look to attend an event near you or join online, and be part of what will be the biggest social reform of our lifetimes.

SOCIAL CARE MINISTER, MAREE TODD

Thank you @MareeToddMSP for meeting with and listening to the midlothian heath and social care partnership AHPs today. Lots of great examples of how AHP drive change,deliver rehabilitation and are essential to the future NCS @lyndama19382281 @theRCOT @RCOT@pagoda @RCOT_PolicySco https://t.co/Kfc84uCDCS pic.twitter.com/dONYtx0MfL

Rehabilitation is central to improving health and social care services in Scotland. Rehabilitation services are vital to people recovering from injury or supported through illness. When people get the rehabilitative care they need, they can be discharged from hospital sooner. Then they will need less health and social care, avoid being readmitted to hospital, and be able to regain their quality of life and their role as active citizens in Scotland.

Allied Health Professionals, such as occupational therapists and physiotherapists, are experts in delivering rehabilitation. It is vital we improve community provision. We will fully engage with the national care service process to ensure we have the right services and systems in place.

I’m Graeme’s Parliamentary Assistant based at Holyrood, but I support his constituency work as well. Having been Caseworker to an Aberdeenshire MP some years prior, joining Graeme's team in 2019 was a return to this line of work from a role in fundraising.
