Social care plan report published

A REPORT following the public consultation of Argyll and Bute’s Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) strategic plan has been published.

From September to November 2015 HSCP carried out a public consultation on its strategy, which detailed how the HSCP intends to improve the way it delivers health and social care over the next three years. It also explained what services the HSCP is responsible for, and what the priorities are.

Stephen Whiston, head of strategic planning and performance for Argyll and Bute HSCP, said: ‘During the strategic plan consultation period we received a wide range of feedback and comments from the public, staff, service users, carers and other stakeholders.

‘I would like to thank everyone who responded for taking the time to participate in this consultation.

‘This report outlines the key themes that emerged from the data collected, which provides. additional insight on the priorities and perspectives of the people living in the communities across Argyll and Bute.

‘The strategic plan is currently being updated to reflect the comments and feedback received, especially across key areas including care at home, learning disabilities and mental health. The revised plan will be finalised over the next month and will then be presented to the integration joint board of the HSCP for endorsement in March. It will then be made publicly available.’
