To ask the Scottish Executive what progress there has been in mapping the provision of services for providing advice to people on the uptake of benefits.
Answer
COSLA and the Scottish Government are progressing with a review of information and advice provision, which will include an assessment of how current provision fits with needs. A major aim of the review is to ensure that public resources are being used effectively and efficiently, and that there is quality and consistency of service provision across Scotland. The review will be published by the end of 2009. One of the key objectives of the review will be the provision of uniform, high quality and joined-up services that are based on needs.
