SCOTTISH EXECUTIVE
National Health Service (Best Value and Efficient Government)
Health and Community Care
NHS boards are expected to implement Scottish Executive policy on public service reform and relocation. Work is being taken forward on shared support services for NHS Scotland and consultation with NHS boards has taken place. The preferred option provides for shared support services centres at each mainland health board location. Two of those centres will also provide national support for finance and procurement and for payroll operations. A final business case is currently being developed. In addition, the relocation and co-location of a number of special health boards in Glasgow was announced in June 2005 as part of the Scottish Executive's relocation policy.
