In September 2020, an invitation was issued to apply for Scottish Government Technology Enabled Care Programme funding, to progress or accelerate development work to transition to digital.

Consequently, twelve local authority health and social care partnerships (hscp), four housing associations and two joint hscp/housing partnership funding applications were successful and will be receiving funding to support their transition.

Many of these newly funded providers have been progressing their digital telecare programmes in isolation over the past 12-18 months, and their inclusion provides a significant opportunity from a programme perspective, to unlock greater opportunities for collaboration, shared learning and to scale up digital telecare transition across Scotland.
