Questions - part 1 of 2

1. Do you agree that Scottish Government should move from a condition-specific policy approach to one that has a balance of cross-cutting improvement work for long term conditions alongside condition-specific work?
2. Are there any improvements in prevention, care or support you have seen in a long term condition you have, or provide care and support for, that would benefit people with other long term conditions?
3. Do you have any thoughts about how areas for condition-specific work should be selected? This means work which is very specific to a health condition or group of health conditions, rather than across conditions.
4. What would help people with a long term condition find relevant information and services more easily?
5. What would help people to access care and support for long term conditions more easily?
6. How could the sharing of health information/data between medical professionals be improved?
7. What services outside of medical care do you think are helpful in managing long term condition(s)? You may wish to comment on how these services prevent condition(s) from getting worse.
8. What barriers, if any, do you think people face accessing these (non-medical) services?
9. What should we know about the challenges of managing one or more long term conditions?
10. What would strengthen good communication and relationships between professionals who provide care and support and people with long-term condition(s)?
