This review began by looking at services, especially in social and healthcare, and their relationship with education, housing, employment and other areas. However, its focus changed to include people’s lifestyles. That is what matters. Services are there to support people in their daily lives. The Learning Disability Review has succeeded in involving many of those with an interest, especially those who use services and their carers, at different points in the journey. The focus of the report is consistent with existing policies on community care. ‘Modernising Community Care’ wants better results for people through quicker and better decision-making, greater emphasis on care at home and agencies working more closely together.

One of the 29 recommendations of the 'The same as you?' review was that local authorities and health boards should draw up Partnership in Practice agreements (PiPs). The aim of this national overview report is to provide feedback on the key messages that emerge from a review of all of the 2004-2007 PiPs, taking account of additional evidence from other sources. Key themes identified are: health promotion and improving access to health, Local Area Coordination, carers, short breaks or respite, autism spectrum disorders, Direct Payments, day services, further education and employment, supported living and vulnerable adults. This report aims to highlight positive developments that can be shared to support improvement across Scotland, and to inform the next round of plans for 2007-2010.
