Question
To ask the Scottish Government when it last met with the independent hospice sector to discuss long-term planning and funding for the commissioning of hospice care.
Answered by Minto, Jenni - Minister for Public Health and Women's Health
The Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care met with the Chair of the Scottish Hospice Leadership Group and Hospice UK on 8 August to discuss long-term planning and funding for the commissioning of hospice care as part of an agreed visit.
I am also meeting the Chair of the Scottish Hospice Leadership Group and Hospice UK on 18 September to discuss these matters further.
The Scottish Government continues to work with Integration Joint Boards (IJB) chief officers and independent hospices to support longer term sustainable planning and commissioning for the sector.
However, it is for Integration Joint Boards (IJBs) to govern, plan and resource adult palliative care in their areas, including independent hospice care, using the delegated budgets under their control. We would encourage hospice colleagues to continue to engage with IJBs to help ensure that the needs of the local population are met.

Question
To ask the Scottish Government when registered social landlords (RSL) will be advised of their 2024-25 budget allocation for aids and adaptations.
Answered by McLennan, Paul - Minister for Housing
Since the integration of health and social care, most funding for aids and adaptations for all housing sectors comes from Health and Social Care Partnerships. Housing adaptations are structural changes to a property made to support a disabled person to live safely and independently at home.
The Scottish Government provides some funding to help Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) deliver adaptations for their disabled tenants. Funding of £8.245 million is available for 2024-25 for adaptations for RSL tenants.
The budget allocation process for the 2024-25 RSLs Adaptations Programme is underway. My officials will contact RSLs directly with information on their funding allocation once the process has been concluded. I expect this to be in the coming weeks.
