A campaign to ensure people know the appropriate place to go for healthcare is being launched earlier than in previous years.
A campaign which will 'alleviate pressure on the NHS' is being launched earlier than in previous years.
The Scottish Government’s Right Care Right Place campaign is designed to help people understand which setting is best for their medical concerns, ahead of the expected increase in demand for the NHS over winter. The campaign will stress that A&E is only for genuine emergencies and point to resources like the NHS Inform website and the NHS 24 helpline.The latest weekly A&E waiting time performance figures showed that a third of patients waited longer than the Scottish Government’s target time in accident and emergency departments.
