Summary
Our Equality Mainstreaming Report provides an overview of how we’ve included equality in all our work over the past four years. This includes internal activities such as equality focused learning for our staff. Our external activities include engaging diverse communities to inform developments in healthcare policy.
The report also sets out the equality outcomes we will work towards during 2025 – 2029. These are broadly based on the themes of:
- improving maternity care
- embedding anti-racism through our anti-racism plan
- including disabled staff and those who are part of an LGBT+ community
We have also published a report on our workforce diversity. This is in respect of the protected characteristic groups defined in the Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties) (Scotland) Regulations 2012. This report also includes information about our pay gaps in respect of:
- gender
- disability
- ethnicity
The report covers April 2021 – March 2024. It provides trends and comparisons over three consecutive annual periods.
These reports demonstrate how Healthcare Improvement Scotland meets its duties under the Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties) (Scotland) Regulations 2012.
Reports for previous years are available on request his.equality@nhs.scot
