AnnotationIn Scotland, the National Care Standards Committee (NCSC) has published standards covering the following: care homes for older people; care homes for people with mental health problems; care homes for people with learning disabilities; care homes for people with physical and sensory impairment; care at home; independent hospitals; hospice care; short breaks and respite care services for adults; support services (i.e. "day care"); nurse agencies; and services for people in criminal justice supported accommodation. These standards have been developed with the help of working groups which included both service users and providers. The standards describe what the service user can expect from the service provider, and focus on his or her experience of quality of life. (RH).
