The question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it considers that a move to two mainland NHS boards, as announced in the Programme for Government, will help accelerate the delivery of its commitment to deliver a 24/7 national thrombectomy service.
The answer
The Programme for Government, published on 1 September, sets out the Scottish Government’s intention to move from 14 territorial boards to two strategic territorial NHS Boards covering the East and West of Scotland.These new Boards will be responsible fort he planning and delivery of NHS services across their respective regions, helping to ensure services are planned on a population basis while continuing to reflect local needs. We expect these arrangements to support more effective planning and delivery of Thrombectomy service expansion across Scotland.
