It will include the development of support hubs in various locations and a West Lochaber personal assistant brokerage network to support connections between local personal assistants and those needing support.

It is part of Urram's work in partnership with In Control Scotland and NHS Highland to develop an alternative model for local coordination and support of social care across West Lochaber.
