The Lothian Health & Care System is refreshing its strategic direction, in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Lothian Strategic Development Framework (LSDF) describes what we are trying to achieve, our current situation, the challenges we face and the direction of travel we propose to take.
The summary document is the core of the LSDF and gives an overview of our Framework.
We have been listening to the views of local people on the LSDF. All of the feedback that we have gathered and considered is included in our engagement report. This includes the feedback we gathered during April and May 2022.
You can still share your thoughts on the LSDF by emailing us: loth.lsdf@nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk
In particular, we would like to hear your responses to the following questions:
- Do you feel the LSDF addresses the issues that are most important? If not, why not?
- Have we missed anything really significant in the LSDF? If so, what?
- What, if any, or the proposals set out in the LSDF worry or concern you?
- What would you suggest that the Lothian Health & Care System could do to alleviate your concerns?
- Is there anything else you would like to tell us before we finalise our strategy?
We are committed to continuing to engage with the public, staff and stakeholders as we develop our plans within the LSDF, and we will continue to share our ideas and our learning here.
