In anticipation of the full implementation of Scotland’s new subnational planning structure, which divides healthcare organisations into Scotland East and Scotland West, the 2025 assessment data has been mapped to the proposed subnational groupings.
The findings reveal a clear, consistent, and significant disparity between the two regions across every single measured domain of digital health and social care.
This uniform and profound disparity across administrative regions presents a critical challenge to the development of a cohesive national digital health and care landscape.
It is imperative to utilise this comparative intelligence to better understand the specific barriers and enablers in each region, so that Scotland’s digital transformation ambitions benefit all citizens, regardless of where they live.
