Although NHS Health Scotland is a part of the NHS in Scotland, we do not provide health services directly to the public and we have no role in monitoring or providing the information that you are looking for. Our role is to work with a range of organisations including other NHS Boards, local government, the third sector and employers to help them use knowledge about what works to improve the health of people in Scotland. This link describes the different organisations that make up the NHS in Scotland http://www.show.scot.nhs.uk/about-nhs-sc...

Therefore you may wish to redirect your request to the 14 local health boards responsible for patient treatment.

You should do this within 40 working days of receipt of this letter and in a recordable format (letter, email, audio tape etc).
