The Scottish Government have opened the public consultation for the Long Term Conditions Framework.
The Scottish Government have opened the public consultation for the Long Term Conditions Framework.
As part of this next phase, they are seeking further input from stakeholders as well as the public to ensure that their approach reflects the needs of those living with long term conditions and the organisations that support them.
The consultation will run from 23 April to 20 July 2025 and you can respond to the consultation by following this link.
Currently, Scotland does not have a unified policy to improve care and support across long term conditions, despite many people facing similar challenges and requiring comparable types of care.
With one in four people living with more than one condition and disease burden increasing, the approach must evolve to meet the needs of an ageing population and tackle existing health inequalities.
To address this, Scottish Government are considering a framework that ensures equitable and sustainable access to essential services while still allowing for targeted action on condition-specific care and support.
Through this consultation, Scottish Government greatly appreciate your insights on how best to shape this framework to meet the needs of those affected.
