From Public Health Scotland today:

80.6% of people of all ages started their treatment within 18 weeks of referral, compared to 79.4% of people for the previous quarter, and 81.4% of people for the quarter ending December 2022. The Scottish Government standard states that 90% of people should start their treatment within 18 weeks of referral to psychological therapies.

50% of the people of all ages starting treatment started within 3 weeks of referral.

  1. What you might have seen on the main BBC news was a quite detailed report, with interviews of people who would benefit from it, on how NHS Scotland is considering approving a drug that helps in treating alopecia, a month after it was introduced in England.

    Perhaps I missed it but I do not recall seeing a report on the benefits of this drug when it was approved for use in England.
