Standards

Summary

We are developing standards for the care of older people living with frailty.

The consultation on the draft standards has now closed.

The ageing and frailty standards will be complemented by the national healthcare standards. These are currently under development. The national healthcare standards will cover key cross-cutting issues in Scotland’s healthcare system, such as:

  • leadership
  • governance
  • complaints
  • adverse events

Consultation feedback

A summary of the responses to the consultation will be made available on request. You can request them from the project team at his.standardsandindicators@nhs.scot.

The final standards will be published in November 2024.
