The Third Sector - a key role in delivering a healthier Scotland
The result of collaboration between Voluntary Health Scotland and SCVO, The Third Sector ? a key role in delivering a healthier Scotland is a report, published on 15 November 2010, which has been informed by jointly commissioned qualitative research undertaken by Alan Sinclair, independent consultant and visiting fellow of the Work Foundation. The third sector already makes a significant contribution to improving the way Scotland?s health and care needs are met. But with increasing demand due to an ageing population, rising expectations, new technologies and with budgets being stretched further and further, now is the time to examine how we can do thing differently. More of the same is not an option. The report demonstrates opportunities for the NHS, and national and local government to work more efficiently with the third sector to maximise effectiveness.
