Future of Social Care – Data and the National Care Service
As Scotland heads towards a new National Care Service, the ALLIANCE’s “Future of Social Care” series will be investigating some of the key issues at play. ALLIANCE Senior Policy Officer Dr Hannah Tweed interviews Public Health Scotland’s Lead on Integration and Primary Care Information, Peter Knight. They discuss why data matters, examples of where good use of data has led to improved service delivery, and why it’s important to get data gathering right.

Looking at Scottish Government efforts to address childhood poverty and food insecurity, the discussion addresses the particular challenges faced by disabled children and young people, those living with long term conditions, young carers, and their families, and the policy efforts that need to be put in place to address these.
