Current status: Answered by Jenni Minto on 8 May 2025
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-30699 by Jenni Minto on 11 May 2024, whether it will provide an update on when it will commission work on the national audit programme for respiratory conditions.
In 2023, the Scottish Government provided Public Health Scotland with funding to undertake a scoping exercise with a view to developing a respiratory audit programme. However, due to current fiscal challenges, it has not yet been possible to progress this work further.
We recognise the importance of having access to meaningful data in relation to respiratory services and we are carefully considering the best way that this can be achieved going forward.
