The HEAT Target Performance for 2014/15[130] is provided in the table below.
Health Improvement
| HEAT Targets Due for Delivery in 2014/15 | |
|---|---|
| Target | Outcome |
| NHSScotland to deliver universal smoking cessation services to achieve at least 12,000 successful quits, at 12 weeks post quit, in the 40 per cent most deprived within-board SIMD areas (60 per cent for island health boards) over one year ending March 2015. | Of 39,746 quit attempts, 7,017 were still not smoking at three months, a ‘quit rate’ of 18 per cent, similar to the overall Scotland quit rate. This represents 58 per cent of the HEAT target of around 12,000 three month quits in the most deprived areas. |
| At least 80 per cent of pregnant women in each SIMD quintile will have booked for antenatal care by the 12th week of gestation by March 2015 so as to ensure improvements in breastfeeding rates and other important health behaviours. | For the year ending March 2013, the worst-performing SIMD quintile at the national level was 74.6 per cent. Awaiting data for period up to March 2015. |

| Target | Latest Results |
| To increase the proportion of people diagnosed and treated in the first stage of breast, colorectal and lung cancer by 25 per cent by combined calendar years 2014 to 2015. | In Scotland, there was a 6.5 per cent increase in the percentage of people diagnosed at stage 1 for breast, colorectal and lung cancer (combined) between the baseline of combined calendar years 2010 and 2011 and combined calendar years 2013 and 2014. |

Treatment Appropriate to Individuals
| HEAT Targets Due for Delivery in 2014/15 | |
|---|---|
| Target | Outcome |
| Further reduce healthcare-associated infections so that by March 2015 NHS Boards’ Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (including MRSA) cases are 0.24 or less per 1,000 acute occupied bed days; and the rate of Clostridium difficile infections in patients aged 15 and over is 0.32 cases or less per 1,000 total occupied bed days. | For the year ending March 2015, the rate of MRSA/MSSA cases across NHSScotland was 0.31 per 1,000 acute occupied bed days. For the year ending March 2015, the rate of identifications of CDI across NHSScotland was 0.34 per 1,000 occupied bed days among patients aged 15 and over. |
| No people will wait more than 14 days to be discharged from hospital into a more appropriate care setting, once treatment is complete from April 2015. | There were 357 people waiting over 14 days to be discharged from hospital in April 2015. |

This figure will remain provisional until summer 2016 when a final figure will be published. |

|---|---|
| Target | Latest Results |
| To deliver expected rates of dementia diagnosis and by 2015/16, all people newly diagnosed with dementia will have a minimum of a year’s worth of post-diagnostic support co-ordinated by a link worker, including the building of a person-centred support plan. | Data systems and definitions are currently under development. |
It should be noted that the Local Delivery Plan (LDP) Standards for 2015/16 have since replaced the system of HEAT targets and Standards, with the vast majority of LDP Standards being former HEAT targets.
