How to get Involved
This document sets out some of the approaches that we believe are necessary in order to meet our strategic objective of helping people to sustain and improve their health, especially in disadvantaged communities, ensuring better, local and faster access to health care. We invite you to take part in a discussion about these approaches, to help shape our priorities and in particular, define the actions that you would like to see prioritised by the new Government and NHSScotland over the next few years. It reflects our commitment to consult and involve as many people as possible in the development of our plans. This will help us to build and sustain a consensus behind the approach we take as a Nation to promoting and protecting our health and wellbeing.
