Scoping of current situation and recommendations

Future actions as agreed

All recommendations will have initial work undertaken over the first 2 years,
and there is Scottish Government funding available to local partnerships for the first 2 years, and this will be used to assist in the work locally around Recommendation 4.

In subsequent years progress should be monitored and reviewed both at national and local level. It is expected that amendments will be made to actions agreed in the light of experience. The consolidation and integration phases will be undertaken in the context of available resource, but it is anticipated that areas will have been identified where any additional resource availability can be used to directly further the consolidation and integration phases.
