Scotland’s Need There is an immediate worldwide need that is affecting Scotland:

1. People live longer

2. They live with more long term illness • People aged 75 and over are three and a half times more likely to be admitted to hospital as an emergency.

• Over the next 10 years the proportion of over 75s in Scotland’s population will increase by over 25 percent – who tend to be the highest users of healthcare services. (Source: A Route Map to the 2020 Vision for Health and Social Care)

Global health and care efficiency must improve by over 35% to maintain current standards of care for increasing numbers and requirements.

DHI focuses on the enablement of health and social care integration, and citizen centric services.

The current systems are not sustainable, so we must innovate and through that stimulate our economy at the same time.

The Challenge We need to change:

£34.7 billion controlled by the Scottish Government Around £11.9 billion is spent on health

We need to consider how we INVEST in health and wellbeing

There were 1.65 million A&E visits in Scotland in 2012/13 Equivalent to 1 every 20 seconds.
