Question
To ask the Scottish Government what criteria it uses as part of the Vaccination Transformation Programme to establish which GP practices can continue to deliver vaccination programmes.
Answer
The Vaccination Transformation Programme (VTP) reforms the delivery of vaccination services by supporting locally designed and delivered services by all NHS Boards and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) in Scotland.
The VTP allows individual Health Boards the flexibility to determine and implement a delivery model that best suits their local population and needs. This would ensure that vaccination services are patient centred, locally and easily accessible and tailored ensuring equitable access across Scotland.
Though the vaccination services delivery models would change as per the needs and requirements of local area. The VTP ensures consistent management of National Immunisation programmes and applicability of national standards ensuring that high standards of vaccination delivery are duly met.
