Background
NHS Quality Improvement Scotland (NHS QIS) was set up by the Scottish Parliament in 2003 to take the lead in improving the quality of care and treatment delivered by NHSScotland. We do this by setting standards and monitoring performance, and by providing NHSScotland with advice, guidance and support on effective clinical practice and service improvements.
This review cycle seeks to assess the level of performance of each NHS Board against the asthma services for children and young people standards and also relevant sections of the clinical governance and risk management standards at an operational level.
The standards are available on request from NHS QIS or can be downloaded from the website (www.nhshealthquality.org). Therefore, the focus of the report is on what NHS Boards are doing at a service level to implement the national standards for asthma services for children and young people and how they ensure that the necessary infrastructure, strategies, policies and procedures are in place to support delivery of these services.
