Reshaping Care for Older People 2011 - 2021

Future

There are some important developments coming up, including the Bill for integrating health and social care and the Review of Care Standards.

We will:

• Use the Reshaping Care for Older People outcomes framework to check we are doing the right things to succeed up to 2021.
• Listen to the public and people that deliver health and social care across Scotland to help us reshape older people's care.
• Ensure that older people have a say in how we reshape the services they use, or may use in the future.
• Continue to share what we learn. This includes what didn't work as well as the positive outcomes of efforts to reshape care.
• Make sure we tackle the economic challenges of an older population while recognising the valuable contribution older people make to society.
