National Care Service - keeping care support local part 1 – local services: regional forums - easy read findings summary
In summer 2023, we held events across Scotland as part of our work to co-design the National Care Service (NCS). The events covered different themes. This easy-read report contains feedback on the Keeping care support local part 1 – local services theme.
What people want from the National Care Service
The National Care Service should help people to have a high quality of life for as long as possible.
People suggested ways that the National Care Service could improve public health. These included support to engage with the natural world and change people’s lifestyles.
People wanted to know what the National Care Service could do about some public health problems. These included air pollution and poverty.
Some people said that a change in society was needed. They said care support should be about communities coming together to help one another.
People also said they needed support to understand the health and social care system. They needed to know what support was available to them in their area.
Some people said the system might need to be more flexible. This would make it easier for people to take on paid caring roles for a few hours a week.
A clear and positive vision for the National Care Service will help bring change.
