How NHS Scotland manages your Data

Under the NHS Scotland Act, NHS Scotland organisations have a legal responsibility to directly or indirectly provide a range of services, including:

• healthcare
• health improvement
• health protection

These services form a National Health Service which is responsible for improving the physical and mental health of people in Scotland.

We follow NHS Scotland policies on Data Collection and Data Processing.  Full details of those policies, including 3^rd party data sharing agreements, can be found on the NHS inform website.
