Response
The Scottish Information Sharing Toolkit was first stood up in the 2015/16 financial year. To support this process, Information Governance resource was seconded from NHS Fife for 3 days a week over the course of 2015/16. Resource was costed as an NHS band 8a rate, and chosen due to in depth expertise around Data Protection and Governance in the health and care sector.
Ongoing costs now attributed to the upkeep of the Information Sharing Toolkit are part of business as usual costs in Digital Health and Care, overseen by the Information and Assurance team.
