Question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether there any plans for the redesign of acute health services in the Lothians.
Answer
This is a matter forNHS Lothian. I understand that the board set out its plans for the redesign of acutehealth services during a public consultation in 2004 entitled “Improving Care, Investingin Change”. I further understand that most of the action flowing from these planshas been taken but that some aspects of the plans are still to be implemented.
Any proposal for furthermajor service changes would have to be subject to full consultation with the publicand would require ministerial approval.
