All forthcoming outputs will be published at 09:30am unless otherwise stated.

Viral Respiratory Diseases (including Influenza and COVID-19) in Scotland Surveillance Report - Public Health Scotland presents epidemiological information on respiratory infection activity, including COVID-19, across Scotland. Due to the dynamic nature of all datasets included in this report, figures contained within each update may be subject to change in future releases. Any revised figures will then be reflected within the latest update. Between 24 April and 9 October 2025, PHS are reducing the frequency of the Viral respiratory diseases (including influenza and COVID-19) in Scotland narrative report to monthly. PHS will move to weekly dashboard only updates for respiratory infection and COVID-19 surveillance. This approach aligns to the pre-pandemic one for respiratory pathogens, which typically follow a seasonal pattern. PHS will continue to monitor COVID-19 and other respiratory infection levels and reinstate the weekly narrative report before 9 October 2025 if necessary.

NHS Waiting Times - Stage of Treatment -A new website dedicated to waiting times for planned hospital appointments and admissions was launched on 10 December 2024. This provides patients on an inpatient, day case or new outpatient waiting list with an easy-to-use platform to find out how long they are likely to wait for their appointment. It replaces the corresponding webpages hosted by NHS inform and include several improvements in response to recommendations by the Official Statistics Regulator. A key improvement is an expanded set of summary statistics that will provide a better reflection of people’s actual experience of waiting times across NHSScotland. For more information see PHS's blog.
