To ask the Scottish Government what mechanisms are in place to monitor, escalate and publicly report on the ongoing delivery of the 55 recommendations of the Independent Review of Audiology Services in Scotland report, and how it ensures that workforce shortages, variability between NHS boards and incomplete quality assurance systems do not prevent the implementation of all 55 recommendations.
The publication of the final report in March 2025 on the Implementation of the Recommendations from the Review of Audiology Services in Scotland marked the conclusion of the national programme of work.
As set out in the final report, responsibility for ongoing monitoring of the implementation of the remaining Independent Review of Audiology Services in Scotland report now lies primarily with NHS Boards themselves via their Audiology Local Action Plans.
