This underlined the importance of engaging with the public, particularly given the potential challenges ahead. The group also received a presentation considering new approaches to leadership and how to delivery change in innovative ways, taking a whole system approach and placing leaders in NHS Scotland in the wider overall context of the public sector.

It is a significant healthcare challenge and addressing it is a priority for the Scottish Government. Throughout the last five years, the Save a Life for Scotland (SALFS) partnership has equipped over 640,000 people, around 11% of the population of Scotland, with CPR skills.

  • The Public Health Scotland Order 2019
    Final Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment Title of Proposal The Public Health Scotland Order(s) Purpose and intended effect Background The Scottish Government carried out a Public Health Review in 2015 (Public Health Review ) to examine public health systems and functions and their contribution to improving population health and wellbeing and reducing health inequalities. One of the recommendations was to undertake further work to review and rationalise organisational arrangements for public health in Scotland. This work should explore greater use of national arrangements, including for health protection. Objective The new public health model seeks to deliver better health and wellbeing outcomes for communities by promoting a collaborative approach to planning and delivery, putting decision making in the hands of local communities and agencies who are best-placed to assess local public health needs. At national level, a new Special Health Board (to be called Public Health Scotland) will provide strategic leadership; support enhanced opportunities for innovation, research, learning and development; and provide assurance on the delivery of improved public health and wellbeing outcomes. Under the new model, the bodies Health Protection Scotland (a division of NHS National Services Scotland (NSS)), Information Services Division (also a division of NSS) and NHS Health Scotland (a Special Health Board) will cease to exist. Public Health Scotland will take over their current functions and services from 1 April 2020. Public Health England has some health protection responsibilities related to Scotland, especially on chemicals, poisons, and radiation. The UK Government and the devolved administrations have designated Public Health England (PHE) to act as the National Focal Point (NFP) for all of the UK and only PHE should communicate directly with the World Health Organisation (WHO) on International Health Regulations 2006 matters.
