Income maximisation in health settings

These two reports are the final reports from the income maximisation in health settings project.

The aim of the project was to understand how to strengthen the contribution of NHS Scotland to maximising incomes through social security.

The project focused on income maximisation pathways within health settings and services most likely to reach and support low-income families with children, including the child poverty priority families.

The services included were:

• maternity
• health visiting
• family nurse partnership (FNP)
• general practice (GP)
• acute children’s hospital settings (within one NHS board area)

The two reports are a full report covering key findings and recommendations, and a second report providing an executive summary.
