This year, due to on-going impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic the IJB was advised in
the summer that our report was unable to be published to the usual statutory timescale.
This was in accordance with Part 3 of the Coronavirus (Scotland) Act 2020, and the
IJB took the decision to postpone the publication of the 2021/22 Annual Performance
Report to its November 2022 meeting. 
As per guidance the annual performance report must include the following:
 Assessment of performance in relation to the 9 National Health and Wellbeing
Outcomes
 Assessment of performance in relation to integration delivery principles
 Assessment of performance in relation to the Partnership’s Strategic Plan
 Comparison between the reporting year and pervious reporting years, up to a
maximum of 5 years. (This does not apply in the first reporting year)

The 2021/22 Annual Performance Report continued to focus on how the HSCP
responded to the pandemic, scaling up the vaccination programme and further

Performance activity against the National Health and Well Being outcome indicators
is presented using 2021 calendar year data as a proxy for 2021/22 financial year as
directed by the SGHD and should be noted accordingly.
