the Scottish Government published its Action Plan for Health and Wellbeing (visit the page).
Patient participation, improved healthcare access, and a focus on the twin challenges of improving Scotland's public health and tackling health inequalities are at the heart of the Plan. The 'Better Health, Better Care' strategy also sets out details of a package of measures which will deliver innovative and ambitious improvements to Scotland's primary care system over the next three years.
On eHealth, it notes that significant progress has been made: "The Emergency Care Summary now contains key clinical information for over 5.1 million patients and is currently used around 25,000 times per week, if the patient explicitly consents, by clinicians in out-of-hours GP services, A&E departments and NHS24." For the spring of 2008, a new eHealth strategy has been promised.
