Abstract
This project studied how members of the public have been involved in decisions about closing or significantly changing hospitals in Scotland since devolution. These decisions are an example of NHS 'major service change'; a legal category that requires Boards to 'inform, engage and consult' the public. This research aimed to learn how the NHS in Scotland could improve this process in the future.
