The current waiting time standards are: • 12 weeks for new outpatient appointment • 6 weeks for the eight diagnostic tests and investigations • 18 weeks Referral to Treatment for 90% of patients • The legal 12 week Treatment Time Guarantee NHS Lanarkshire is required from 1 October 2012 to comply with the Patient Rights (Scotland) Act 2011 that places a legal responsibility on the NHS Board to ensure that all patients due to receive planned treatment on a day case or inpatient basis receive treatment within 12 weeks of the patient agreeing to the treatment.

  • Appendix 4: a Guide to Public Health
    Scottish Public Health Network Appendix 4: A guide to public health Foundations for well-being: reconnecting public health and housing. A Practical Guide to Improving Health and Reducing Inequalities. Emily Tweed, lead author on behalf of the ScotPHN Health and Housing Advisory Group with contributions from Alison McCann and Julie Arnot January 2017 1 Appendix 4: A guide to public health This section aims to provide housing colleagues with a ‘user’s guide’ to the public health sector in Scotland, in order to inform joint working. It provides an overview of public health’s role; key concepts; workforce; and structure in Scotland. 4.1 What is public health? Various definitions of public health have been proposed: “The science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through the organised efforts of society.” Sir Donald Acheson, 1988 “What we as a society do collectively to assure the conditions in which people can be healthy.” US Institute of Medicine, 1988 “Collective action for sustained population-wide health improvement” Bonita and Beaglehole, 2004 What they have in common is the recognition that public health: defines health in the broadest sense, encompassing physical, mental, and social wellbeing and resilience, rather than just the mere absence of disease; has a population focus, working to understand and influence what makes communities, cities, regions, and countries healthy or unhealthy; recognises the power of socioeconomic, cultural, environmental, and commercial influences on health, and works to address or harness them; works to improve health through collective action and shared responsibility, including in partnership with colleagues and organisations outwith the health sector.

  • Language Provision in the Scottish Public Sector: Recommendations to Promote Inclusive Practice
    Social Inclusion (ISSN: 2183–2803) 2021, Volume 9, Issue 1, Pages 45–55 DOI: 10.17645/si.v9i1.3549 Article Language Provision in the Scottish Public Sector: Recommendations to Promote Inclusive Practice Róisín McKelvey 1,2 1 Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Stirling, Stirling, FK9 4LA, Scotland; E-Mail: [email protected] 2 School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, EH8 9YL, Scotland Submitted: 30 July 2020 | Accepted: 28 September 2020 | Published: 14 January 2021 Abstract Public service providers in Scotland have developed language support, largely in the form of interpreting and translation, to meet the linguistic needs of those who cannot access their services in English. Five core public sector services were selected for inclusion in a research project that focused on the aforementioned language provision and related equality issues: the Scottish Courts and Tribunal Service, NHS Lothian, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, the City of Edinburgh Council and Glasgow City Council. The frameworks within which these public service providers operate—namely, the obligations derived from supranational and domestic legal and policy instruments—were analysed, as was the considerable body of standards and strategy documents that has been produced, by both national organisations and local service providers, in order to guide service delivery. Although UK equalities legislation has largely overlooked allochthonous languages and their speakers, this research found that the public service providers in question appear to regard the provision of language support as an obligation related to the Equality Act (UK Government, 2010). Many common practices related to language support were also observed across these services, in addition to shared challenges, both attitudinal and practical.

  • Accessing Healthcare in Other Countries of the European Economic Area by the S2 (E112) Route
    Accessing Healthcare in England If you are registered with a general practitioner in Scotland then you are entitled to free NHS care arranged by NHS Scotland. Generally that care will be provided as close to home as possible and within your own NHS Board area but care may be provided elsewhere in NHS Scotland if that is clinically necessary. NHS England runs a different financial system involving internal charging between “providers” (NHS Trusts) and “commissioners” (NHS Primary Care Trusts) for health care services. Residents of Scotland who are registered with a GP in Scotland will always be entitled to emergency care anywhere in the UK but are not automatically entitled to access elective (planned) NHS care in England as NHS providers will expect to invoice NHS Scotland for providing that service. Before providing elective services to patients registered within NHS Scotland, a provider Trust is therefore required to obtain advance financial consent from the relevant NHS Scotland Board. Where a patient wishes to access routine healthcare in England for social reasons such as studying or working in England or staying with relatives for a period longer than a normal holiday then we would strongly recommend that the patient registers with a local general practitioner in England which will entitle them to access their routine NHS care including community services from NHS England. Where it is necessary for clinical reasons to refer a patient to a specialist service in England because that service is not available in NHS Scotland then this is usually funded through national agreements managed by NHS National Services Division in Edinburgh.
