Supporting People Plan - Supporting People With HIV+/AIDS

What is the Needs Profile and Current Level of Services?

  • There are a very small number of people in North Lanarkshire with HIV+/AIDS, some of whom may have housing support needs.
  • At present there are no services providing housing support specifically for this client group. However some individuals may receive services such as home support services which provide services to individuals in their home.

What are the Main Gaps in Services?

  • Housing support to be integrated within broader care and support packages across North Lanarkshire.

What are Our Main Priorities?

  • Our priority is to respond flexibly to the individual needs of people as they are identified. We will work closely with Lanarkshire and Greater Glasgow NHS, health care trusts local health care co-operatives and the voluntary sector to:
  • Better identify the needs of existing service users and assess levels of unmet need.
  • Develop with provider agencies a range of floating support options throughout North Lanarkshire.
