Consultations and engagement

The links below will take you to details of our public engagement and consultation programmes, both those under way and those which have now finished. If you need any of this information in a different language or format, please contact Patient Services by telephone on 01387 272 733, by email at dg.patientservices@nhs.scot or via Contact SCOTLAND-BSL.

A Participation and Engagement Network is in place for the region. From time to time it will send out information on the engagement activity being carried out by local agencies such as the NHS and Council, and it will highlight opportunities to take part.

If you want to be added to the distribution list for the Participation and Engagement Network, please let us know by emailing dgcommunications@nhs.scot
