H&SC Strategic Planning & Performance Reporting Statutory Guidance - Consultation
Overview
The strategic commissioning plans and performance reporting statutory guidance were initially published by the Scottish Government in 2015 and 2016. The purpose of the statutory guidance is to support integration authorities, who plan and direct the delivery of health and social care services, to produce strategic plans and annual performance reports.
Strategic plans and performance reports are requirements under the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014. This legislation set the framework for the integration of health and social care by establishing integration authorities.
The Scottish Government brought together a working group, including partners from across health and social care, to refresh the guidance. The working group included organisations that represent supported people, carer organisations, those who plan and oversee the delivery of services, and many more partner organisations.
As part of this work, we do not intend to make changes or alterations to the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014 or the related regulations.
Re-drafts of the guidance have been produced through engagement with the working group. We are seeking to capture further feedback and views on these revised guidance documents.
Scottish Government's Impact assessments are available on the SG consultation page.
