ISD aims to contribute to the improvement and integration of health and social care in Scotland, particularly for older people and/or those with long term or chronic conditions, through the provision and development of information and intelligence. More specifically:
- shift the balance of care from institutional to community-based provision;
- maximise the number of individuals able to live and be cared for in their own homes;
- encourage better joint working between the NHS, Scottish Local Authorities, carers and the voluntary sector; and
- reshape Care for Older People in response to a growing elderly population.
