The aim of the proposed new bill is to consolidate and extend existing legislation relating to direct payments, and to provide a legal basis for the provision of self-directed support (SDS).

The consultation on the Scottish Government’s SDS strategy is now closed.The strategy - Self-directed Support: A National Strategy for Scotland - makes 26 recommendations on how to deliver services over the next ten years in a way that is fair; that reflects the informed choices of people who need support; and that enables people to get what they really want.The government aims to report on the feedback received in August, and will go on to develop a detailed action plan. Once implemented, the strategy has the potential to make person-centred, recovery-focused services widely available. You can find out more about SDS on the Scottish Government’s Self-directed Support website. |
