Data and reporting | Right Decisions

Public Health Scotland has worked with RCDSs in creating a national dataset. Health Boards submit data quarterly, please see data points below. The dataset supports the monitoring and ongoing service improvement within RCDSs. In addition, the Centre for Sustainable Delivery's Earlier Diagnosis Team works with UK nations to monitor emerging learning and evaluation outcomes from similar diagnostic models out-with Scotland.
