- Title
The Future of Social Policy in Scotland: Will Further Devolved Powers Lead to Better Social Policies for Disabled People?
- Authors
Rummery, Kirstein; McAngus, Craig
- Abstract
Scotland has laid claim to being 'different' from the rest of the UK with regards to disability policy. This article examines the evidence for that with regard to long-term and social care, and discusses the possibilities opened up by the devolution of disability benefits. It asks whether Scotland will demonstrate policy divergence from the rest of the UK, and whether that is likely to be beneficial for disabled people. It argues that Scotland has the potential to create better social policies for disabled people, but faces significant challenges in doing so.
