Advancing Telecare Development: Strategies for Mainstream Provision

The Telecare Development Project, now in its fourth year, focuses on expanding telecare services funded by the Scottish Government. It has trained over 1,200 staff and implemented significant improvements in infrastructure, including over 550 new complex telecare packages in 2008-09. The project enhances multi-agency collaboration involving health, social care, and housing services. Key funding of £950K for 2009-2010 supports various initiatives aimed at improving care for complex needs while addressing ongoing revenue implications and the need for sustainable funding.
