Public Health Scotland
Scotland’s lead national agency for improving and protecting the health and wellbeing of all of Scotland’s people.Beds Information in Scotland Edit
To provide an effective, safe and efficient service to patients, hospitals must balance the provision of staffed beds against anticipated demand. Historically, the total number of beds has been reducing in line with evolving models of healthcare provision that aim to reduce the frequency and duration of hospital admissions and improve the integration of health and social care services. This strategy aims to improve outcomes for patients and reduce the likelihood of future hospital admissions.
