The report of the Equally Well test site national evaluation has been published on the NHSHS website.
In February 2010 NHS Health Scotland commissioned this national evaluation of the Test Sites. It focused on service redesign within the Test Sites and what works when embedding change in the public sector to address health inequalities. The fieldwork was completed in March 2011, covering the first 30 months of the work of the Test Sites. In addition, each Site undertook a local evaluation, focusing on what Test Sites had done and what short term changes they had delivered.
The national evaluation considered:
What was different about this approach?
How has partnership work developed?
How has learning taken place?
What steps are being taken to sustain integrated service redesign?
What are the most significant things that have been achieved?
What national level actions are needed?
