Ministers and officials regularly meet with representatives of all NHS Boards, including NHS Lanarkshire and NHS Forth Valley, to discuss the performance and resilience of local services; including winter planning, which has been a priority since the end of last winter.

NHS Boards make arrangements for external consultancy support; where this provides value for money and where there is a requirement for specific skills or services that cannot be delivered within existing capacity.
