For example, the introduction of priority-based dispatch for ambulance services in Scotland followed our recommendation that the case for such a system be evaluated. A new requirement for accountable officers to ensure that risks are explicitly identified and assessed and that systems are put in place to manage them followed an Audit Committee recommendation that arose from its consideration of the AGS report on the new Scottish Parliament building.The introduction of a new protocol for escalating intervention by Executive staff when a national health service board starts to experience financial difficulties followed our recommendation that Executive monitoring systems be strengthened, which arose from our inquiry into the report on financial problems in the NHS in Tayside.
