Today, Digital Office for Scottish Local Government published findings from FarrPoint’s new report on the National Telecare Landscape Review, covering 32 local authorities in Scotland.
This study, commissioned by The Scottish Government, COSLA and Digital Office, expands the view of Scotland’s telecare services by incorporating housing sector data for the first time, offering a more complete picture of telecare delivery across the country.
This comprehensive study delivers critical insights into the current state of telecare across Scotland and aims to provide a clear and detailed overview of telecare services across Scotland, capturing the processes, workforce, and data underpinning these vital services.
Data for the review was collected through detailed questionnaires sent to Telecare Service Providers and in-depth interviews conducted between July and December 2023. This collaborative effort has been made possible thanks to the invaluable contributions of organisations and individuals across Scotland.
