To ask the Scottish Government whether it considers the Vision 3 clinical system to be appropriate for use by GPs, in light of reports that it is viewed by some GPs as being unfit for purpose due in part to its age.
The Scottish Government considers the Vision 3 clinical system to be appropriate for GP use. It meets the nationally defined requirements following a comprehensive procurement and accreditation process involving clinical experts. The system has undergone extensive functional, non-functional and clinical safety testing to recognised standards and continues to be enhanced.
While some concerns have been raised, significant support, training and system improvements are in place. Migration to Vision remains essential to ensure practices operate on a supported, safe and sustainable system.
