What are Local Development Plans?

Local Development Plans are measures for NHS Scotland Health Boards. The plans are set each year after consultation with stakeholders and cover a variety of areas. Progress is measured throughout the year and NHS Boards are held to account during annual stroke care audit.

The main areas include:

  • improving health and life expectancy
  • continuously improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the NHS in Scotland
  • recognising patients’ need for quicker and easier use of NHS services; and
  • ensuring patients receive high quality services that meet their needs
