Request
- The first Document that I attach is dated June 2019 and titled Effective use of Support Garments for parastomal Hernia. It states that it was ratified by the Scottish Executive Nurse Director Group. I believe that this group comes under the auspices of your NHS Scotland/Scottish Government Operation/Public Health Scotland. The contact on it is no longer employed by the NHS in Scotland. Can I find out is this Document owned by Public Health Scotland? If not, can you shed light on the ownership of it?
- Can I ask as well are the recommendations contained within it, just that recommendations or indeed Scottish Government Policy or a Policy Document from NHS Scotland. Or are they even just part of a paper on Health care?
- Also, can I ask for a copy of the Equality Impact Assessment that would have accompanied this document?
- On the Second Document Titled: National Stoma Quality Improvement which again says this was ratified by the Scottish Executive Nurse Director Group. Again, I believe that this group comes under the auspices of your NHS Scotland/Scottish Government Operation/Public Health Scotland. Can I check is this document is owned by NHS Scotland/Scottish Government/Public Health Scotland? If not, can you shed light on the ownership of it?
- Can I ask as well are the recommendations contained within it, just that recommendations or indeed Scottish Government Policy or a Policy Document from NHS Scotland. Or are they even just part of a paper on Health care?
- Also, can I ask for a copy of the Equality Impact Assessment that would have accompanied this document?
- Can I ask what group/organisation/postholder set up the National Stoma Quality Improvement SLWG (NSQIG) Group? Can I also ask for the Terms of reference for this group. Is this group a group set up to make Government policy or is it to carry it out? Who does this group report to? Is this group charged with decision making or does it merely offer advice?
- Can I ask for the Public Health Scotland/Scottish Government/NHS Scotland policy on involving patients and patient's groups in policy decisions directly affecting their care?
- Can I ask for the Public Health Scotland/Scottish Government/NHS Scotland policy on involving organisations that are funded by pharmaceutical companies and lobby for pharmaceutical companies as direct members in the decision-making groups regarding health policy in Scotland?
