Audit Scotland prepares an annual overview on the NHS in Scotland on behalf of the Auditor General for Scotland.
For this year, we will assess the financial performance of the NHS based on information from the annual accounts and audit reports of NHS boards in 2015/16. We will also comment on the broader performance of the NHS and look ahead to examine how the NHS in Scotland is equipped to deal with future challenges.
Read our data briefing which pulls together published statistics on Scotland's NHS workforce and sets out the challenges we will explore in these audits.
