National Care Service summer forums: supplementary report - easy read

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 additional feedback we gathered from some of the event.


What is next for the National Care Service

The Scottish Government is committed to delivering a National Care Service. It will make the quality and consistency of social care support in Scotland better. We are now working to improve the social care support system.

Events will help us to make the National Care System, its policies, and the National Care Service (Scotland) Bill better.

A Bill is a proposed law that needs to be passed by the Parliament before it could become a law. The Scottish Parliament will vote on the National Care Service (Scotland) Bill in January 2024.

We will continue co-designing the National Care Service.

We will involve people who have accessed social care support. We will also involve groups of people whose voices currently are not being heard.

We will keep improving the social care support sector for the already existing staff and to make it a good profession to work for.
