This report details performance for the Financial Quarter (FQ) 1 2026/27 (April – June). The key
performance outputs are taken from the current Integrated Performance Management Framework
(IPMF) Reporting Dashboard. Overall performance for FQ1 notes 38 of 97* measures reported as
on target (39%). 51 are noted as off track and 8 are awaiting data/TBC. National Delayed Discharge
Sitrep and the National Health & Wellbeing Indicators performance are also provided. The HSCP
Senior Leadership Team recently reviewed the content and structure of the Integrated Performance
Management Framework, and the revised suite of performance metrics is being presented before
the IJB in a new suite of measures (Appendix 1). This new suite of measures is designed to integrate
national pressures around Centre for Sustainable Delivery’s (CfSD) Urgent & Unscheduled Care,
Planned Care and NHS Highland Operational Improvement Plan (OIP), including scope for service
feedback.   
2. RECOMENDATIONS

3. DETAIL OF REPORT
The report details the HSCP (Health and Social Care Partnership) performance for FQ 1 2026/27
(April - June), highlighting key performance trends across the 97* KPIs (Key Performance
Indicators). For FQ 1 2026/27, the latest national update on Delayed Discharges, the latest
performance on the National Health and Wellbeing Outcomes Indicators and additional performance
metrics aligned to Urgent & Unscheduled Care, Planned Care and NHS Highland’s OIP are all now
reported within Appendix 1. 
4. RELEVANT DATA & INDICATORS 
4.1 FQ 1 2026/27 (April – June) Performance Summary                           
Overall performance for FQ1 notes that 97* KPI’s are scoring against a target, with 38 (39%)
reporting as on track. 51 are noted as off track and 8 are awaiting TBC/data. The KPI’s report
performance against the target and include the target, actual and variance and is a mix of both
quantitative and qualitative indicators. The use of the green, amber and red graphics within the
Dashboard is used to give an overview of the HSCP’s total performance for each of the thirteen
services and 97* KPI’s. The use of only green and red for the KPI’s is used to focus delivery with
regards to sustaining performance on or above target.  
Metrics around CfSD Urgent & Unscheduled Care, Planned Care are now imbedded within the IPMF
and are all reported within Appendix 1. 
4.2 Analysis of Key Performance  
This analysis identifies performance across the 13 service reporting categories within the Integrated
Performance Management Framework (IPMF).

4.2.1 National Health & Wellbeing Outcome Indicators & Ministerial Steering Group
Integration Indicators 
The National Health and Wellbeing Outcomes provide a strategic framework for the planning and
delivery of health and social care services. This suite of outcomes serves to focus on improving the
experiences and quality of services for people using those services, carers, and their families. These
indicators form the basis of the annual reporting requirement for Health and Social Care
Partnerships across Scotland.   
The national indicators will be updated and reported within A&B HSCP’s Integrated Performance
Management Framework to provide the national performance position alongside the local service
Key Performance Indicators suite. 
The latest data in relation to 18 HWBOI Indicators reports 66.6% on track, with 12 on-track and 6
off-track. An overview of A&B HSCP’s latest performance against the 18 HWBOI measures and the
latest 6 MSG metrics and activity levels are included in Appendix 1. It should be noted that reporting
periods vary across the suite of national indicator measures, with some measures affected by
national reporting data lag. 
4.2.2 Delayed Discharges Sitrep 
Overall trend performance for June 2026 noted an overall increase in the total delays per 100,000,
with 48 reported at the June 2026 census point. With regards to sit rep benchmarked
performance, A&B HSCP remains above the Scottish average per 100,00 population, however the
latest Delayed Discharge sit rep per 100,000 indicates the overall position is worsening, with 58
noted as of 27th July 2026. 
5. CONTRIBUTION TO STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
The monitoring and reporting against Key Performance Indicators using the Integrated Performance
Management Framework and Dashboard ensures the HSCP is able to deliver against key strategic
priorities. This in-turn is aligned with the Strategic Plan and key objectives. 
6. GOVERNANCE IMPLICATIONS

• MSG Indicators have been updated to FY 2024/25 and are presented as a proxy for part year 2025/26 (April – Dec) based on latest available
publication. MSG Indicators 1.1 & 1.2 & 2.1 notes slight fall in activity compared to the last reporting year, however this may be due to impact of data
lag.
• Activity around Emergency Admissions, Unplanned Bed Days, A&E attendances and Delayed Discharge Bed Days all noted performance exceeding
pre –Covid levels. This highlights the necessity to consider approaches to alleviate systems pressures around Urgent and Unscheduled Care and
expedite hospital flow, particularly around significant increases seen in A&E Admissions and Delayed Discharges.

FQ1 Performance Update - IPMF
The IPMF was reviewed across the summer of 2026 in line with HoS engagement meetings. The number
of KPIs has increased from 77 in 2025/26 to 97* for 2026/27. This will be partially due to the OIP and
U&UC metrics being threaded through the IPMF main structure. Additionally, QPS is recognised as its
own service area, resulting in 13 key areas of performance monitoring for 26/27. *Currently 8 KPIs TBC

Plans, Mitigations and Actions
The findings for Quarter 1 continue to identify Orthodontics and Urology as the primary pressure specialties, with the
highest proportion of patients waiting longer than 52 weeks. Targeted improvement work is underway within both
specialties to address these long waits, increase capacity where possible, and reduce the number of patients exceeding
waiting time thresholds. It is anticipated that these interventions will lead to a significant improvement in access times and
a reduction in long wait breaches over the coming quarters. Continued monitoring will be essential to assess the
effectiveness of these actions and ensure sustained progress.

The pressure specialties identified in Quarter 1 are Urology, Orthodontics, Ophthalmology,
Gastroenterology, Respiratory Medicine, and Oral Surgery, all of which continue to experience
increased waiting time pressures. Targeted improvement activity is underway across these
specialties to reduce long waits, increase capacity where feasible, and improve patient access. It
is anticipated that these interventions will result in a significant improvement in access times and
a reduction in waiting time breaches over the coming quarters. Progress will continue to be closely
monitored to evaluate the impact of these measures and identify any further actions required.

OIP - Hospital @ Home – Caroline Robertson – (FQ 1 Apr - Jun 2026) Performance Overview
Plans, Mitigations and Actions
The Hospital at Home (H@H) service provides hospital-level care in patients' homes for a range of conditions, including frailty,
cardiac, respiratory, and Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT).
With 12 Hospital at Home beds now established in Oban, work is continuing to expand the service by developing an additional four
beds across the Argyll and Bute area. Consideration is also being given to establishing provision within an island location to further
improve equitable access to the service.
During 2025/26, a total of 248 referrals were accepted into the Hospital at Home service, resulting in 1,877 acute hospital bed days
being avoided across Lorn and Islands. In 2026/27, 97 referrals have been accepted to date, equating to 427 hospital bed days
saved. As the service continues to develop and expand, it is anticipated that referral activity and the associated reduction in acute
hospital bed occupancy will continue to increase.
