Meeting of the Parliament 23 June 2026 [Draft]
The Scottish Government and the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities have undertaken several actions to ensure that local government and the NHS are working together effectively to deliver complex care packages through the coming home programme. A key focus has been improving co-ordination between NHS boards, local authorities and integration authorities and supporting that through the better use of data, shared oversight and earlier joint planning.
That work builds on the £20 million that has already been distributed to integration authorities since 2021 through the community living change fund. It will further benefit from the new £20 million complex care investment that I mentioned earlier, which will be delivered through Independent Living Fund Scotland. That investment will support bespoke community-based packages of care.
