Question
To ask the Scottish Government what community support is available to people recovering from COVID-19 within each NHS board.
Answer
The Scottish Government does not hold information on community support available to people recovering from COVID-19 within each NHS board.
The Scottish Government recognises the importance of a consistent approach being taken forward in the community to support people recovering from COVID-19 across Scotland. That is why in the Framework for Supporting People through Recovery and Rehabilitation during and after the COVID-19 Pandemic includes a priority “to work closely with partner agencies to ensure a joined-up infrastructure of care supports rehabilitation approaches and is predicated on bolstering community care through the promotion of the hubs, which have been established in response to coronavirus (COVID-19)”.
