Planning older peoples' services

 

Public Engagement and Consultation 

16 September to 8 December 2024 

Over the last 12 months, East Lothian Health and Social Care Partnership has been engaging with local communities, providers and staff to identify, develop, and prioritise suggestions that could support the delivery of older people’s services for generations to come.

Progress to date:

After the initial round of public engagement, 2,458 individual pieces of feedback were collected, including 314 suggestions on how East Lothian could provide sustainable older people’s services.  These suggestions were categorised into a long list of options; assessed; short-listed; modelled, then further appraised by the project team and an Independent Community Panel to identify four key priorities. 

Public Engagement and Consultation 

Over a 12 week period, Monday 16 September to Sunday 8 December, we are asking you for your comments on the identified priorities and your views on this project’s engagement process.
