Major service change reports

Major service change reports

Public bodies should follow national guidance on community engagement and participation when planning and delivering health and care services in Scotland.

Planning with People, published by the Scottish Government and COSLA, sets out expectations for NHS boards, Integration Joint Boards and local authorities that are planning and commissioning care services in Scotland.

Where a major service change requires formal consultation, our Service Change Team produces an assessment report that advises if the board's consultation and engagement processes have followed Scottish Government guidance.
