We asked you to give us your views about the draft guidance on supporting children and young people with healthcare needs in schools in Scotland.
81 responses were received, giving us detailed feedback on all sections of the guidance document.
We have now published those consultation responses and an analysis report covering the key points raised. We will now consider the content of all responses received, and liaise further with key stakeholders, to ensure the finalised guidance meets the needs of those responsible for delivering healthcare services in schools.
For views on ways to increase numbers of successful organ and tissue donations, including proposals to introduce a soft opt out system of organ and tissue donation.
The responses to the consultation suggest that there is significant support for organ and tissue donation in Scotland, including the introduction of further measures which aim to increase donation. The responses show significant support for the introduction of a soft opt out system, and the system as set out in the consultation.
We intend to introduce legislation for a soft opt out system of organ and tissue donation as well as taking forward other measures to increase organ and tissue donation.
