RCN Scotland's response to Scottish Government's consultation on the proposed National Care Standards December 2015

In this response to the Scottish Government consultation, the RCN welcomes that the National Care Standards review is finally underway but thinks that the review needs to step up the pace. It also needs to make explicit the links between the National Care Standards and the wider health and social care landscape. Mapping the National Care Standards against existing standards policies and legislation, will help make it clear where accountability for the new National Care Standards lies and will help streamline and create an overarching framework for quality care that is clear for both people receiving care and the staff who deliver it.
