Summary

The guidance followed in publishing this report has since been superseded by Planning with People guidance

This report sets out our assessment of whether NHS Tayside’s engagement and consultation on proposals to reconfigure planned and unplanned orthopaedic trauma surgery carried out in Tayside followed Scottish Government guidance, which requires that NHS boards seek, listen to and act on the views of potentially affected people and communities when proposing changes to services.

Based on the evidence outlined in this report, our view is that NHS Tayside has followed the national guidance set out by the Scottish Government.
