About this release
This release by Public Health Scotland (PHS) is the second report by the Scottish National Audit Programme (SNAP). This report comments on and provides examples of, how national clinical audit is integral to improving care, pathways and outcomes for patients by measuring and reporting on evidence based standards and implementing the SNAP governance process which requires outlier NHS boards to address the unwarranted variation.
Further information

It uses clinical audit data to provide intelligence, highlight variance, share learning, and promote best practice across the pathways of care within the various audits and registries which it manages.
