  • Asked by: Clare Haughey, MSP for Rutherglen, Scottish National Party

  • Current status: Initiated by the Scottish Government. Answered by Neil Gray on 31 March 2025

Question

To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-34287 by Neil Gray on 27 January 2025, which outlined specific commitments relating to NHS renewal, when it will publish the operational improvement plan setting out more detail on delivery.


Answer

I am pleased to confirm that the NHS Scotland Operational Improvement Plan has published today: www.gov.scot/isbn/9781836914556

The plan focuses on the following four critical aspects to help protect the quality and safety of care, supported by the increased investment for health and social care in the 2025-26 Scottish Budget:

  • improving access to treatment;
  • shifting the balance of care;
  • digital and technological innovation;
  • prevention.

It details how the specific commitments outlined in the answer to question S6W-34287 will be delivered – building on health boards’ own delivery planning to prioritise how services will be improved across NHS Scotland. This plan will be followed by publication of a population health framework later in the spring and a health and social care service renewal framework in June.
