The NHS Annual Review 2026 will take place on Friday 13 November 2026 at Public Health Scotland's offices in Gyle Square, Edinburgh, offering the public a chance to engage with the formal accountability event.

The formal event, where NHS boards are held accountable by Scottish Ministers, will review the past year's achievements and challenges, and outline plans for the coming year.
The review will be co-chaired by Maree Todd, Minister for Mental Wellbeing, Public Health, Sport, Alcohol and Drugs, and Councillor Paul Kelly, COSLA spokesperson for Health and Social Care.
Members of the public are invited to participate by attending the session in person or submitting questions in advance. The Chair of Public Health Scotland, Ally Boyle, will also be featured.
To attend in person at the Edinburgh office, registration is required via Eventbrite by 6 November at 4pm.
Questions for the review can be submitted by emailing phs.planningandperformance@phs.scot with 'Question for Annual Review' in the subject line. The submission window opens on 16 October and closes on 30 October at 4pm. A selection of these questions will be addressed by the co-chairs during the session, with all questions and answers published online afterwards.
