The Population Assessment has taken the National Outcomes Framework into account in considering the care and support needs of different user groups, the extent to which these are being met and areas for improvement. For example, the principle of people being empowered to understand their own needs, articulate these, take an active part in decisions affecting their lives and having access to the right information to improve their wellbeing is a consistent theme throughout the thematic reports. Similarly, physical health, mental health and emotional wellbeing, protection from abuse and neglect, access to appropriate educational and recreational opportunities and support in developing strong personal and community relationships have been important considerations in assessing support needs of particular groups and the type of care and support that should be available.
