This workbook has been designed to assist local authority and health partners to gather data across the whole system to assist capacity planning which will then inform local commissioning plans and will be of particular use when considering learning disability services. It should be considered in the context of important policy documents, such as Changing Lives and Better Health, Better Care which recommend how changes can be made to social care and health services to make them fit for the future. It is intended to be a practical tool for use by partnerships and can be easily adapted or customised for use in local areas. This workbook assists partners with this process by providing a framework for identifying existing services, service pressures and financial data all of which gives a firm basis for then agreeing a detailed and robust capacity plan within an overall Strategic Plan. The workbook is based on a workbook developed for older people in Dundee and Forth Valley, and since then tested in a number of partnerships in Scotland.
