Current status: Answered by Frank McAveety on 18 December 2002
To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-31129 by Mr Frank McAveety on 11 November 2002, whether the information that will be available on the learning disability review website will include (a) clear data on local authorities that have not appointed local area co-ordinators (LACs), (b) information on how many LACs (i) are additional to the existing staff complement or (ii) form part of an existing post's remit and (c) details of the source of funding for LAC posts.
The level of detail available will depend on the information provided in each local authority's Partnership in Practice Agreement. It is unlikely that each authority will have provided the level of detail referred to in the question. The short-life working group of The same as you? Implementation Group will continue to support the development of local area co-ordination and any reports they produce will be made available on the learning disability review website.
