Equalities and Planning Directorate
Welcome to the new Equalities and Planning Directorate.
28 July 2008
The Equalities and Planning Directorate started life on 1 April 2008. We have a team in place that is committed to bringing about an NHS in Scotland that is truly person centred and places equality at its core.
In our first few weeks and months of working as a new team, we have been developing work programmes in consultation with our key stakeholders. As these plans develop we will share them with you through this website.
An Equality and Diversity Impact Assessment (EQIA) Report of the functions of the Directorate has been completed and is now out for consultation with our stakeholders. The purpose of the EQIA is to assess the potential impact of the key functions of the Directorate on the major equality communities. You can read the read and respond to the consultation by visiting EQIA Report of the Equalities and Planning Directorate functions.
The consultation period will end on 30 September 2008. Consultation responses can be submitted to the Equalities and Planning Directorate.
