Annual means it happens once a year.
A law called the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014 or 'the 2014 Act' for short, says that all Health and Social Care Partnerships must make a performance report each year.
Reporting for the year starts from 1 April.

- as accessible as possible using different formats and different ways to put the information out

The national health and wellbeing outcomes show how we want to make the quality of care better for people who use health and social care services.

- information about how the Health and Social Care Partnership has worked to achieve the national indicators
This must include information that compares the reporting year and the 5 years before it.
The national indicators describe the type of Scotland we want to build.

Consulting means asking people what they think.
