Summary
Scotland’s government is set to overhaul the NHS with a bold plan to slash 14 health boards down to just two, aiming for a more efficient, integrated healthcare system. The move also seeks to bring social care under NHS control, smoothing transitions between health and social support. Leaders like Laura Skaife-Knight envision faster care, reduced waiting times, and better access—especially closer to home—with a focus on national consistency. While streamlining is key, rural equity remains a top concern, with efforts underway to address distance, staffing, and digital solutions to ensure no one is left behind.
