It has been confirmed that over 500 practices are now sending ECS (and ePCS / KIS) information every 2 hours from GP Practices as part of the process to increase the extract runs and make this inforamtion available as soon as possible.

Boards that have completed this work for all practices are NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, NHS Tayside, NHS Lanarkshire, NHS Borders and NHS Western Isles.

Plans are in place to roll this process out to all remaining GP Practices over the coming weeks, and more information will be shared on the impact this is having on ECS in due course.
