Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many people who died in each of the last five years had a Key Information Summary on death, also broken down by NHS board.
Answer
This information is not collected centrally.
The Key Information Summary (KIS) is a collection of information, extracted from a patient’s general practice record, that may be helpful to attending medical professionals in providing treatment. As this information is stored via GP systems, it is not possible to centrally collect information in the manner described.
