In short this is about focussing on improving outcomes, and ultimately improving people’s lives.
The update also sets out the intended outcomes of the PSR programme as follows—
“to ensure public services remain fiscally sustainable, by reducing the costs and reducing long-term demand through investment in prevention,
to improve outcomes, which will improve lives and reduce demand, and
to reduce inequalities of outcome among communities in Scotland, recognising the need not just for improved outcomes, but a focus in policy and delivery on those most disadvantaged.”
