The deadline for feedback on the Scottish Government’s self-directed support (SDS) strategy has been extended to 21st May. Proposals for new legislation are also out for consultation. 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 then go on to develop a detailed action plan. Once implemented, the strategy has the potential to make person-centred, recovery-focused services widely available. The aim of the proposed new Self-directed Support (Scotland) Bill is to consolidate and extend existing legislation relating to direct payments, and to provide a legal basis for the provision of SDS. The deadline for feedback on these proposals is 23 June 2010. To contribute to the consultation on Self-directed Support: A National Strategy for Scotland, click here.
