SUMMARY:National Planning Framework (NPF4) consultation with Scottish Parliament
DESCRIPTION:On Monday 7th February the Scottish Parliament is holding an engagement event on the draft National Planning Framework (NPF4) consultation. VHS are hosting a break-out session we’d like to invite members to take part in. The Parliament will confirm the start and running times early in January\, but meantime we are seeking expressions of interest from voluntary health organisations interested in participating. \nThe draft National Planning Framework (NPF4) which sets out the long-term plan for what Scotland could be in 2045 was laid before Parliament in November. The Scottish Government is consulting on the draft framework until 31 March 2022. \nThe Parliament is organising an online engagement event to discuss the NPF4 with multiple subject-focused break-out rooms. As part of this Voluntary Health Scotland will be co-facilitating a break-out room focused on creating healthier places. The break-out room will be a facilitated conversation about how the proposals in the framework could impact health and wellbeing. We would be keen to hear from members with an interest in NPF4 who are eager to participate in this discussion. We hope this will inform parliamentarians’ engagement with the NPF4 and wider consultation responses. \nNPF4: Policy 14 in the draft National Planning Framework is focused on health and wellbeing. It contains policies on: \n\nLocal development plans creating healthier spaces and tackling health inequalities\nEnsuring health and social care facilities and infrastructure meet the needs of the community\nNot supporting development proposals which are likely to have significant adverse health effects\nRequiring a health impact assessment for some proposed developments\nAvoiding development proposals which could have a significant adverse effect on air quality or noise\nand supporting proposals for community food growing.\n\nWhile we are eager to keep the focus of the conversation on health and wellbeing\, we appreciate other elements of the framework will likely impact this such as 20-minute neighbourhoods and proposals on human rights. With that in mind we are keen to explore how these wider policies could impact people’s health and wellbeing too. \nNumbers are limited so please express and interest and we will confirm if you have secured a place as soon as possible. Please email Lauren Blair

SUMMARY:Data Strategy for Health & Social Care: Scottish Government Engagement
DESCRIPTION:The recently published digital health and care strategy commits to the development of Scotland’s first ever dedicated Data Strategy. It’s important that people are at the heart of any developments and that trust is built in how our data is stored and used.  \nThe working vision of the Strategy is to ensure health and care data supports the delivery of health and social care services\, and to ensure it does so in a way that empowers the citizens and supports innovation and research. Citizens should have access to and control over\, their own health and care data – including the ability to view and update information contained. \nThe strategy will also outline how health and care services can be better integrated and built on people-centred approaches where staff can record\, access and share relevant data across the health and social care system to support people’s care. The third and independent sector health and care providers are at the heart of this work\, recognising the importance of data flow for the integration agenda.” \nThe government has established a Data Strategy Working Group as part of this refresh. The minutes of their meetings and progress can be followed online\, additionally updates are posted through their Twitter account: @DigiCare4Scot. Briefing Paper Third Sector – Engagement on Data Strategy (1) \nThis is an opportunity for third sector organisations working in the area of health and social care to engage with the Directorate for Digital Health and Care around these issues. \nChaired by : Claire Stevens\, Chief Executive\, Voluntary Health Scotland  \nSpeaker: Nel Whiting\, Policy Lead for Participation & Engagement\, Directorate for Digital Health & Care\, Scottish Government  \nBook a place here.\nPlease contact Lauren Blair if you have any questions.
