Interim National Care Service Advisory Board: Advice to Scottish Ministers and Council Leaders - Composition of the final National Care Service Advisory Board

Introduction

The interim National Care Service Advisory Board was invited by Scottish Ministers and Council Leaders to advise them on the composition of the final Advisory Board. The interim Board recognises the importance of ensuring that the final Board includes the right perspectives and has access to appropriate expertise and understanding.

Part of the Advisory Board’s purpose is to ensure that lived experience is embedded in its own decision-making, and decision-making more widely across the health and social care sector.

The interim Board believes that membership of the final Board – as well as the supporting infrastructure established to feed wider views and perspectives into the Board’s thinking – are an essential part of achieving this aim.
