NHS Anchor Baseline Analysis
Created: 16/12/2024
News/Events Category: Health and Social Care
Through the Anchors workstream, the Scottish Government is working with Public Health Scotland to support NHS Boards to address the socio-economic drivers of health inequalities by contributing to the wider Community Wealth Building agenda and operating as effective ‘Anchor’ institutions.
As ‘Anchor’ institutions, NHS Boards can use their significant spending power to improve the lives of people in the communities they serve by taking deliberate decisions to:
- Increase fair employment opportunities for target groups
- Procure more goods and services locally
- Use or dispose of their land and assets for the benefit of their local community
The latest version of the report, NHS Boards as Anchor Institutions represents a key step in understanding the current position of Community Wealth Building activity across NHS Scotland and informing next steps for further developing Boards as Anchors institutions.
