Executive Summary
The Health Technology Board for Scotland (HTBS) cannot proceed with plans to evaluate devices to prevent needlestick injuries, due to a lack of relevant data at national level. The HTBS is waiting for the results of an audit, involving all Scottish health boards and trusts, but does not yet have a time-line for the project, a spokesperson told Clinica.
