To ask the Scottish Executive what the remit is of the public health network referred to by the Minister for Health and Community Care in a letter to me of 8 January 2007; what the network’s objectives are, and how its work is monitored.

Answered by Andy Kerr (27/03/2007): The Scottish Public Health Networks(ScotPHNs) remit is to facilitate joint working between all organisations involvedin health improvement and health services by providing a means of communicationand through specific projects in areas of national importance.

The objectives of the network areto:

undertake prioritised national piecesof work where there is a clearly identified need, which will impact on planningand decision making at both national and local level. This will be facilitated byusing the skills, knowledge and expertise, which are spread widely across Scotland,in addressing public health issues, and

to create effective communicationamongst professionals and the public to allow efficient co-ordination of publichealth activity. To share information effectively so that duplication of effortis avoided.

The network has a steering group whichis chaired by a Director of Public Health. Its membership is drawn from key individualsfrom relevant organisations. It agrees and guides the ScotPHN work programme.

Governance of the ScotPHN is undertakenby a stakeholder group including broad representation from organisations responsiblefor delivering health improvement and health services. The ScotPHN is facilitatedand monitored by a lead clinician with the support of a project manager. The ScotPHNis hosted by NHS Health Scotland.

ScotPHN is open to everyone in Scotland who has a professionalinterest and significant involvement in the wider health improvement agenda includingstaff from the NHS, local authorities, academia and others. The ScotPHN work programmeis still under development as it has been fully functioning for less than six months.
