Key findings and recommendations covering free personal nursing care (FPNC) in Scotland are presented.
The specific objectives of the study were to evaluate the robustness of financial planning, monitoring and reporting arrangements for FPNC at both a national and local level, to examine the current costs and funding allocations for FPNC across councils in Scotland, and to identify the financial impact of FPNC on older people, the Scottish Government and councils.
The study involved an analysis of national data including demographics, older people's services and financial information, a data survey of the 32 councils focusing on activity, financial, policy and practice information, focus groups with older people and care providers, interviews with staff in six councils, the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) and the Scottish Government, a survey of independent care home providers, and a review of a sample of care packages since 2002 in two councils.
