National Care Service: fairer Scotland duty assessment

Summary of evidence

A summary of the evidence sources is provided at the end of this part of the assessment. During our research it was apparent that there are gaps in the evidence, e.g. some of the findings are taken from the 2011 census as the findings from the 2022 census are not yet available. However, it is clear from the evidence that is available, and from the response to the NCS consultation, that change is needed to ensure consistent and high quality social care support is delivered across Scotland.
