Asked by: Gulhane, Sandesh (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party - Glasgow)

Question

To ask the Scottish Government what plans it has to (a) build on the progress from the Scan4Safety programme and (b) implement a single national transferable patient record.

Answered by Gray, Neil - Cabinet Secretary for NHS Recovery, Health and Social Care

The NHS Scotland Scan for Safety Programme is focused on improving traceability and patient outcomes for high risk implantable medical devices. The Programme has established pilot sites in NHS Lothian and NHS Golden Jubilee with both sites implementing Point of Care data capture in key specialities.

NHS Western Isles will commence implementation of Scan for Safety in March 2024. Work is underway to confirm further NHS Boards for roll-out in financial year 2024-25. It is planned at present to implement Scan for Safety across territorial boards by the end of March 2026.

The Scottish Government recently provided details of plans connected to electronic patient records to the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee – see Electronic patient record | Scottish Parliament Website
