Caring Together: The Carers Strategy for Scotland 2010 - 2015
The Scottish Government and COSLA are determined to ensure that carers are supported to manage their caring responsibilities with confidence and in good health, and to have a life of their own outside of caring.
1. ACTION POINTS AND IMPLEMENTATION
1.1 The Scottish Government and COSLA intend to ensure that the Action Points in this strategy are taken forward. We will keep the strategy under review to be able to respond quickly to new policy, fiscal and resource developments. We will formally review this five-year strategy by August 2013. We will scope out the nature of this review later.
1.2 The consolidated list of Action Points is set out in Appendix 2. The Implementation Plan will be developed over the coming months.
1.3 The Scottish Government intends to establish an Implementation and Monitoring Group, comprising a range of stakeholders, to oversee implementation of the strategy. This Group will report to the Scottish Government's Health and Community Care Delivery Group, as part of the reporting on the implementation of the adult carers part of this strategy.
1.4 We will also explore the scope for reporting on the implementation of the Young Carers Strategy to the GIRFEC Strategic Board.
ACTION POINT 1.1
The Scottish Government, with COSLA, will keep this strategy under review. An Implementation and Monitoring Group will report annually on progress, with the first report being undertaken by August 2011. A formal review will be concluded by August 2013. As part of the review the Scottish Government, with COSLA, and informed by the views of stakeholders, including carers, will decide whether new or revised Actions would be appropriate.
