Request support with a public inquiry
Published on 29 April 2024
Public inquiries can be set up by the Scottish or UK governments. They review matters that are considered to be in the public interest. These public inquiries often involve the NHS in Scotland, including health boards and centralised functions. They can cover various matters, some of which may be controversial.
When a public inquiry is announced, we can bring extensive experience in representing the interests of the NHS in Scotland at the inquiry. We’ll also provide support throughout. There are often numerous parties involved.
We can make arrangements to ensure sufficient resource is in place to deal with the public inquiry properly.
