Description
As you will be aware, there are significant pressures on public finances and this has had an impact on the availability of funding from Scottish Government to support new initiatives. As a consequence the GP DACS team has been exploring options to support the pathfinder programme. Unfortunately, a funding stream has not been identified and the work remains unfunded. As a result of this, the ongoing challenges within Primary Care and changes in GPIT re-provisioning, the GP DACS Steering Group has recommended that the GP DACS pathfinder programme is paused. Some GP Practice teams may wish to continue to explore the suitability of GP DACS solutions for their Practice and Scottish Government is providing implementation guidance to support this activity. A technical requirements document designed to aid any procurement activity is available on request by contacting the TEC mailbox below. We very much appreciate your patience while the national GP DACS team have been exploring alternative funding and delivery options. Should you have any questions or require further information, do not hesitate to contact us via email – nss.tec@nhs.scot
