Future Requirements and Possibilities for Public Involvement in Health and Social Care

Future Requirements and Possibilities for Public Involvement in Health and Social Care

We commissioned research to explore the future possibilities for public involvement in Scotland, in the context of planned integration between adult health and social care services. The report includes sections on existing experiences of public involvement and future possibilities and lessons learned from four in depth case studies of public involvement in health and social care in Scotland. These case studies were East Renfrewshire, Dundee, Highland and West Lothian. (ODS Consulting, 2013)
