Policy Briefings

The Scottish Health Council produces policy briefing papers on issues related to public involvement in the NHS. They are deliberately brief and are issued in response to changes in legislation, regulations or policy. The papers have been written to help ensure a consistent organisational approach to external requests for information, and to communicate our position on particular areas of policy to a wider audience. We welcome feedback on these documents.
