Providing high quality care and support for older people is a fundamental principle of social justice and is an important hallmark of a caring and compassionate society. Demographic changes coupled with a decade of difficult public finances means this is one of the 3 biggest challenges facing Scotland – alongside economic recovery and climate change. This document sets out the Scottish vision and immediate actions for reshaping the care and support of older people. It has been co-produced through an extensive period of development and engagement with the people of Scotland and with political, organisational and community interests at both local and national levels. The programme presented provides a framework, built on consensus across all sectors and interests, to address the challenges of supporting and caring for Scotland’s growing older population into the next decade and beyond. This document will be updated to ensure it operates as a key driver for Reshaping Care.

A National Service Framework for Older People was published in March 2001. Just as the NSF was developed with input from older people and their relatives, this new ambition reflects what older people want of the new care system. Although overt age discrimination is now uncommon in our care system, there are still deep-rooted negative attitudes and behaviours towards older people. Within five years, it is the ambition is to ensure that older people and their families will have confidence that in all care settings, older people will be treated with respect for their dignity and their human rights.

The elderly represent 11.5% of the population of Ireland, but Ireland will experience the second highest increase in its over-65 population in the European Union, with an anticipated growth of 26% by 2011. Under ancient Celtic civilization, the so-called Brehon laws were very enlightened in their view of the elderly. In modern times, policy in Ireland has been shaped by the report of a working group in 1988, The Years Ahead, which has been adopted as official policy. With the main aim of maintaining older people in their own homes in maximum health, the report outlines a comprehensive scheme of community, health and institutional measures. Many of these have been incorporated in the 2 blue-prints for future development of the Irish Health Services, known as Shaping a Healthier Future (1994) and Quality and Fairness (2001).
