National Care Service: questions and answers - engagement sessions - easy read
In summer 2022, we ran four National Care Service (NCS) Bill engagement sessions. A number of questions were asked during these sessions, so we have produced questions and answers (Q and A) for these. This is an easy read version of these.
Questions about Care Boards
What are Care Boards?
Care Boards are organisations that will plan:
- care
- support
to people in their local areas.
They will make sure that people across Scotland can get the same services and supports they need, wherever they live.
How will Care Boards work?
Care Boards will:
- carry on with things that worked well before
- be in charge of social care instead of local councils
- plan and choose social care and some health services for their communities
- work with other Care Boards to help people locally and across Scotland
- have their own staff and money
- report to Ministers
- work with local councils to make health and social care better
