COSLA Foreword

PETER JOHNSTON

Health & Wellbeing Spokesperson

I am delighted to jointly endorse this Strategy on behalf of COSLA. We are committed to working with the Scottish Government and other partners to ensure that people with a sensory impairment continue to receive high quality and well-coordinated care and support. The development of this new joint Strategy focuses on bringing local authority, health and third sector service partners together to improve outcomes.

Local partnerships will adopt different approaches and the level and pace of progress will accord with local priorities and within available resources. The Strategy does recognise a particularly challenging financial climate and therefore the focus on early intervention and prevention is especially important.
