Care of older people in Scotland is no longer only a health and social care issue. It is now a test of dignity, capacity, workforce resilience, public finances, unpaid care, housing, hospital flow, community support and the ability of public services to respond to an ageing population. The Scottish Government’s Health and Social Care Service Renewal Framework sets a 10-year direction around prevention, access, quality, person-centred care, community support and digital enablement. The aim is a transition towards preventative healthcare, increased community support and strategic integration of technology. Is aspiration being met with delivery?

Scotland’s housing emergency is now a delivery pressure for every council and many public sector partners. Local authorities are challenged to respond amid a bewildering context. Rising homelessness, soaring housing need, acute affordability pressures, distinct rural and island challenges, child poverty need, restrictive planning constraints, and regeneration demand. An expectation too that empty homes, short-term lets and equalities delivery will also be addressed in the face of limited public finances. The question is, can we connect all of these themes in a way that is genuinely deliverable, affordable and swiftly available?

It is explicitly part of Scotland’s attempt to keep The Promise after the Independent Care Review.
