To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking to ease the transition of severely disabled patients from the juvenile to the adult care system.

The Scottish Government is committed to supporting children and young people through transition periods to make sure that everyone can reach their potential. Under the Getting It Right for Every Child approach, statutory providers are expected to ensure that transition planning for children with severe disabilities starts as early as possible through a multi-agency team which places the child at the centre. Additionally, under the self-directed support programme we are investing over £500,000 on projects aimed at improving transitions for young people in receipt of social care and support.
