Abstract

Following the publication of the Scottish Government’s updated Digital Strategy, this event focused on how digital technology can drive improvements in the ways in which public services are delivered across various sectors within local government, including health and social care, education and environmental services.

This video brings together the key moments from the IET Engineering Policy Group Scotland's Holyrood Briefing on 3rd October 2017, which took place at the Scottish Parliament Building in Edinburgh. The meeting was chaired by Dr. Colin Birchenall, CTO for the Digital Office, Scottish Local Government, a partnership of 30 Scottish local authorities.
