The report, published today, follows a joint inspection by the Care Inspectorate and Healthcare Improvement Scotland which looked at how well the health and social work services partnership in the area delivered good personal outcomes for older people and their carers.

Inspectors looked at whether health and social work services worked together effectively to deliver high quality services to older people, which enabled them to be independent, safe, as healthy as possible and have a good sense of wellbeing.
