| Annotation | The Audit Scotland report, 'A review of free personal and nursing care' scrutinised the implementation of FPNC in Scotland, which this report considers along with issues raised by Lord Sutherland's Independent Review of Free Personal and Nursing Home Care in Scotland (April 2008). While the Public Audit Committee supports the concept of regarding FPNC as a mainstream element of provision for older people, it also notes that Lord Sutherland also highlighted the importance of ensuring that costs are adequately monitored and reported. The Committee endorses Audit Scotland's recommendations that local authorities should work with local health partners to evaluate the long term consequences of older people receiving domestic home care services. Annex C lists the key recommendations from the Audit Scotland report, also those arising from Lord Sutherland's independent review. (RH). |
