To ask the Scottish Government whether it will pause any further rollout of the Vision 3 system pending a full review of its impact on GP practices, staff wellbeing, patient safety and service capacity.
The Scottish Government has no plans to pause the rollout of the Vision hosted system. EMIS PCS is due to reach end of life in June 2027, and Vision is currently the only GP clinical system available through the national framework for practices requiring a replacement system.
Patient safety, staff wellbeing, service capacity and operational risks are monitored through established programme governance arrangements. PSD Scotland continues to work closely with health boards, GP practices and One Advanced to identify and address issues, strengthen training and support, and implement lessons learned from migrations. This approach is intended to support the safe and effective transition of practices from EMIS PCS before support for that system ends.
