National Services Scotland (NSS), which supplies support services to NHS Scotland, are preparing to look for new services to replace outdated legacy child health surveillance systems.

The NSS have revealed that the child health surveillance systems have become increasing inefficient and increasing expensive, with the systems having been developed for the NHS, up to 15 years ago.

The NSS said that the systems “now have a number of challenges including legacy technology, inflexibility, poor architecture and poor value for money.”

In tendering for replacement services, the NSS are looking for systems which are able to support a large service base of more than 5 million Scottish children, migrate past data easily from the legacy systems and provide a modern online interface allowing for flexibility and accessibility regardless of location.
