Does your organisation want to see faster house building across Scotland? Have you thoughts and solutions on how this could work better? Do you have an opinion on the Scottish process compared to elsewhere?

​

Part of the recent Housing Emergency Action plan is to accelerate building in Scotland. Scotland’s planning system must be an active enabler of the good quality development needed. Our planning system is set up to contribute to addressing the housing emergency, through enabling quality homes as a part of quality places with diversity of tenure.

Some of societies most vulnerable people are in care homes or in reciept of care at home. Freedom of information is an exteremly important part of maintaining care and dignity for everyone, and for our more vulnerable people in Scotland, it is vital that the FOI Act provides everything needed to protect people. 

​

Does you organisation work with people to provide support in their homes, or are you a care home? What is your experience in this matter? What would be useful in terms of the next steps with this Act?

​
