Our National Health 2000: A Plan For Action, A Plan For Change
The health plan aims to improve Scotland's health and close the health gap between rich and poor, restoring the NHS as a national service and improving care and standards.
Partnership for Care 2003
The white paper builds on Our National Health and moves on to develop certain key issues. The paper sees patients and national standards as key drivers of change in the Health Service. It outlines ways in which the redesign, integration and quality of services can be systematically progressed, and it seeks a step change in approach to health improvement as an essential component.
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
The Convention is not law but a code of practice that the Government signed up to in 1991. It recognises that young people under 18 in Scotland do have rights. These rights must be given fairly, and children and young people must be kept safe and well, and able to take part in society.
Protecting Children and Young People: The Charter-Scottish Executive 2004
The Charter was developed in consultation with children and young people who have experienced harm and been in need of help and protection. It sets out what children and young people need and have the right to expect to help protect them when they are in danger or already have been harmed by another person.
Protecting Children and Young People: Framework for Standards-Scottish Executive 2004
The Framework is a means of translating the commitments made to children in the charter into practice. It provides a basis for all agencies to develop effective safeguarding measures translating into practice the commitments made to children in the Charter. Through raised awareness, good practice and robust systems and procedures, staff will be supported to ensure the care and protection of children. The Framework sets out what each child in Scotland can expect from professionals and agencies to ensure that they are adequately protected and their needs met. It also sets out what parents or other adults who may report abuse and neglect can expect.
Action Plan for Improving Oral Health and Modernising NHS Dental Services in Scotland (2005)
This paper sets out an action plan to improve oral health in Scotland, with a particular focus on improving the oral health of our children, and presents our proposals for modernising NHS dental services in Scotland over the next 3 years but with implications for oral health and dental services to the end of the decade. This will set change in progress over the next 3 years and have further implications on changes in oral health and dental services into the next decade. There is no single solution; it is only by a combination of actions that we will be able to improve access to services and patients' dental and oral health.
