While there has been some movement on the project to date, progress is slow.  Procuring equipment that is fully compatible with the platform is the priority to enable
WDHSCP to best support the digital rollout, however delays from Scotland Excel has required an alternative procurement solution to be identified for a smaller scale
initial purchase.  The contract for the Digital ARC has been awarded and a test unit and access to the demo platform has been received with a plan to on-board
partnerships to the live platform in Spring 2024, while the process to formalise arrangements with East Dunbartonshire Council for the ARC cover for the calls is ongoing
with the cost for the call handling service still to be confirmed.
Main Issues / Reason for Variance
A HSCP Digital Strategy 2024-2027 is in development. The strategy will have an internal focus, identifying areas where the HSCP would need to progress to support
digital transformation and improve the digital maturity of the partnership. The strategy will focus on areas where structures are in place to support change, where focus
will be required and setting the stage for opportunities to move forward. As well as digital technologies, the strategy will focus on staff skills and digital inclusion within our
communities, and support digital change projects over the duration of the strategy. A draft version of the strategy is out for comment, and has been submitted to the
Senior Management Team, with a view to a final version being submitted to HSCP Board for approval on 25th June.  It is unlikely that the budget will be fully spent by
March 2024, however the budget will be required to be carried forward to next financial year to progress planned works
