No Report

As seen earlier 1,829 Teams (12%) did not receive a report. These are all teams with less than 5 members, where the required response rate of 100% has not been reached. The table above show the percentage of teams not receiving a report for each Board. The Boards in which the greatest proportion of teams received reports are:

  • The State Hospital (94%)
  • Healthcare Improvement Scotland (94%)
  • National Service Scotland (95%)
  • Public Health Scotland (95%)
  • NHS Western Isles (94%)

In contrast 20% of NHS 24 Teams did not receive a report, reflecting the smaller average team size.

Reports Issued

All Boards and teams with 5 or more staff now receive reports regardless of their response rate. Teams with 4 or less staff only receive a report if they have a response rate of 100%. The table following shows the proportion of teams in each Board receiving a report. This ranges from 80% of teams in NHS Golden Jubilee to 95% of teams in NHS National Services Scotland and Public Health Scotland.

The table also shows the number of teams overall and the proportion of those that are small teams. This illustrates differences across Boards with 55% of NHS Education for Scotland teams having 4 or less people, compared to only 95 of NHS Western Isles teams. The column to the right of the table shows the percentage of small teams within each Board that received a report. While across the whole of Health and Social Care 51% of small teams received a report, it varies from 29% of small teams in NHS Highland to 86% of small teams in The State Hospital.

Appendix 11 contains further information on team size and response rates.
