9. DEVELOPING AN ACTION PLAN FOR SCOTLAND

9.1 This consultation document aims to stimulate discussion about priorities for NHSScotland and its partners in developing its future approach to CHD and stroke care. We invite you to take part in that discussion by commenting on the approaches described in this document, identifying other opportunities and, in particular, by describing the actions that you would like to see prioritised over the next few years. We would also welcome information on your personal experiences of care and examples of best practice from Scotland or elsewhere in the world. These will be reflected in the final strategy due to be published later this year.
