The House of Care Programme is a partnership between:
- the Scottish Government
- the Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland, and
- the Year of Care Partnerships.
The House of Care Programme aims to transform primary care to focus on what matters to people. It is part of a family of approaches seeking to shift health and social care to more preventative, personal outcome focused, person centred and asset-based approaches. We are delighted to share our final evaluation report from this work.

From fixer to facilitator: evaluation of the House of Care Programme in Scotland

The evaluation was carried out using the Matter of Focus approach, a tried and tested, theory based approach to understanding the contribution a programme has made to improved outcomes.
The approach is specifically designed to evaluate complex, people-based interventions such as the House of Care where it is not possible to simply measure the difference made.
Sharing the findings
In October 2020 we hosted an interactive webinar to hear from different stakeholders involved in the evaluation. Watch the recording here:
