All NHS Boards in receipt of Medical ACT funding are required to submit an annual accountability report to NES; this includes all 14 territorial Boards, the State Hospital, the Scottish Ambulance Service and the National Waiting Times Centre, which reports on activity from the Scottish Blood Transfusion Service.

18 Accountability Reports were received, 3 were received after the deadline and 1 was not returned. With these reports, the Medical ACT Team produced the Information Sharing Document 2022/23 and distributed to Boards.
