Following introductions from the six test of change sites (Perth and Castle Huntly, Low Moss and Greenock, Shoots, Grampian) the group did a SWOT exercise in local and then professional groups. Key issues included resources and the potential impact of, as yet unknown, levels of need. The potential for the development of more effective, integrated services was also clearly recognised with enthusiasm.

Nigel Ironside from Scottish Prison Service and Gail Allan from Macmillan Cancer talked about the challenges of delivering health and social care in the prison environment and the impact of high numbers of people in prison.

The importance of the Third Sector in prisons both now bout also the opportunities for more strategically aligned services were explored by a presentation by Tracey McFall from Turning Point Scotland.

The tests of change will be collating data and reflecting on how their tests perform through some data collection, reporting template, questionnaires and case studies (the Evaluation Toolkit).
