Question
To ask the Scottish Government when it will publish the response to the recommendations of the Independent Review of Inspection, Scrutiny and Regulation of Social Care in Scotland (IRISR).
Answer
The Scottish Government has accepted all 38 recommendations from the IRISR and the response will be published on 6 March 2024, with a proactive statement due to be issued at 9.30am. The full Scottish Government response can be accessed here http://www.gov.scot/ISBN/9781835219768 .
In accepting these recommendations, we recognise the significant amounts of work already underway, that will in part or fully address a large number of the recommendations, and this work needs to continue in partnership and at pace. In taking a phased approach to the implementation of the IRISR recommendations, we are confident that work can be carried out to deliver continuous improvement that addresses the key challenges highlighted by the Review and support better outcomes for the people of Scotland.
