The question
To ask the Scottish Executive how it interprets the recommendation of the Kerr report that effective long-term condition management should be based on a generic approach geared to the management of the totality of a person’s needs, in the community and without hospitalisation wherever possible, and how this is implemented to provide adequate chronic pain self-management programmes.
The answer
Delivering for Health set out the Executive’s response to the KerrReport’s recommendations on the effective management of long term conditions. Thisincludes the development of the Community Health Partnership Toolkit, a mandatoryself-assessment tool which will enable each CHP to determine how responsiveservices are to the totality of the needs of those with a long term condition,which we would interpret as including chronic pain. The content of the Toolkitis currently out for consultation, and the Long Term Conditions Alliance Scotland hasbeen included in order to give generic comments from the perspective of thosewith long term conditions.
Self-management is also anessential element of the long term condition management model, and the Executive is providing funding to two organisations who are developing selfmanagement strategies for people with chronic pain. Developing self-managementinitiatives is also an important focus of the work of the Long Term ConditionsAlliance Scotland.
