| Annotation | Across Europe, demographic and epidemiological changes are challenging Member States' health systems; and Scotland is no exception. The Scottish Government is integrating health and social services to improve their quality and consistency, thereby improving health outcomes in Scotland. A clear vision, strong political commitment, extensive partnerships, and a health care systems approach to integrating services have all enabled integration that promotes strong accountability arrangements, transparent joint planning, and a clear outcomes framework. The Scottish Government has provided funds to facilitate the reform, and has established clear communication mechanisms for managing the transformational change that is needed. (RH). |
