To ask the Scottish Executive what meetings have been held with organisations representing elderly people regarding the process of establishing single outcome agreements.
Answer
Policy teams within the ScottishGovernment routinely meet with such organisations so that their interests can berepresented in the development of national policy and priorities. I would expectthese discussions will have a significant impact on the formulation of single outcome agreements between the Scottish Governmentand local authorities.
I would also expect each localauthority to continue its duty to engage with such organisations and community bodiesas it thinks fit when setting priorities and planning services as part of the newarrangements.
