Abstract
The Scottish Government is integrating health and social care services to ensure that people get the right care, in the right place, at the right time. Historically, there has been a divide between “health” and “social care” services. Increasing numbers of people do not experience neatly segregated “health” and “social care” needs, so our systems of health and social care in Scotland need to evolve to support people in ways that reflect increasingly complex support requirements and multimorbidities.
