Project Aims and Objectives
To develop standards for services for older people which will help to improve the overall experience of users of services within or procured by NHSScotland. The standards will apply to all older people moving through a variety of settings (primary and acute) in NHSScotland, not just in hospitals. Performance across NHSScotland will be assessed and reported on locally and nationally.
