Consumer Focus Scotland welcomes the opportunity to submit evidence to the Health and Sport Committee inquiry into the regulation of care for older people. Our evidence is focused on the key question for the inquiry: ‘Does the regulatory system ensure care services for older people are providing good quality and appropriate care?’ and one of the further questions: ‘Does the system adequately take into account the views of service users?’ We wish to comment on these two questions from the perspective of both current and future users of care services, who include carers and families, as well as direct service users.
