Independent Review of Adult Social Care in Scotland final report
Created: 03/02/2021The Scottish Government has published its Independent Review of Adult Social Care in Scotland, which was led by Derek Feeley, a former Scottish Government Director General for Health and Social Care and Chief Executive of NHS Scotland, and was supported by an Advisory Panel comprising Scottish and International experts.
The principal aim of the review was to recommend improvements to adult social care in Scotland, primarily in terms of the outcomes achieved by and with people who use services, their carers and families, and the experience of people who work in adult social care. The review took a human-rights based approach.
