Disability Equality Scheme – Annual progress report: November 2007
This is our first published account of the work we have done to implement our Disability Equality Scheme (DES) within NHS Quality Improvement Scotland (NHS QIS). We will report on the work we have done so far with regard to the promotion of disability equality and the elimination of discrimination based on disability.
An analysis of the outcomes will inform future actions that we need to take as we endeavour to meet the needs of the disabled people that we work with and those that use the health services for which we set standards and guidelines.
