How can we better understand (by geography) future demand and supply, to help plan for the delivery of social care?
Background
We want to increase our understanding of adults’ need for social care support in Scotland as well as adults’ social care needs that are not currently met (unmet needs). This is a complex research area that has relevance across all areas of adult social care policy development. Robust definitions and measurement are critical to enable insights into variations and influencing factors.
