| Annotation | The main aim of free personal care (FPC) is to remove discrimination against older people who have chronic or degenerative illnesses and need personal care, bringing such care into line with medical and nursing care in the NHS based on need. This evaluation examined the four key stages of the operation of FPC across Scotland: the application process; the assessment process; the provision of FPC and care services; and reviewing and monitoring FPC. A further objective was to evaluate the impact that FPC policy has on: informal care; the balance of care; care providers, the broader care sector and the range and availability of care services; and the quality of care received.
