After many years of quality awards, ELCAP were delighted with the comprehensive review as part of the EFQM assessment. We were really keen that this was an open and inclusive process. The contacts made through Quality Scotland have provided other unexpected benefits. We were delighted that having followed the EFQM model that our discussion with our regulator were framed in the same terms and with the same improvement agenda.
