The Review of the Scottish National Care Standards has begun.
We now want your views on the overarching principles that will form the basis of
these standards.
These standards will apply to all health and social care settings across Scotland.
The principles written from the perspective of people who use health, care and
support services, using a Human Rights based approach. A Human Rights based
approach is one which empowers people to know what they are entitled to and
ensures that this is integrated into their day to day care and support.
We are also interested in your views on how we put these principles into practice.
Everyone should have high quality services and have a positive experience. We
want everyone's views so we get it right and make this happen.
On the following pages you will see all the principles. Please let us know what you
think about each one.
This consultation is open from 26 October 2015 – 10 December 2015.
Dr Mary R Lapraik, Dr John Lee, Dr David Garmany, Dr Susan Sheehan, Dr Lorna Donaldson, Dr David Somerville,
Dr Sally Roberts. Dr Sunil Sahu, Dr Jennifer Peebles, Dr Lilin Zheng, Dr Gordon Reeks.
