Consultation on the New National Health and Social Care Standards

The Review of the National Health and Social Care Standards is well under way.

Earlier this year the Care Inspectorate and Healthcare Improvement Scotland consulted, and the Scottish Government agreed the principles that now underpin the new draft Standards.

The views of representative groups and individuals from across health and social care, including people who use care and their carers are being sought to inform whether the new Standards are fit for purpose; the extent to which they are directed at supporting improvement in care and support; and ultimately, whether they will achieve better personal outcomes for everyone.

You are invited to take part in the consultation and help shape the future standards and expectations of health and social care in Scotland.

The consultation is now live and can be accessed at:
