Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether funding will be made available to NHS boards to provide consistent levels of support to people recovering from COVID-19.
Answer
The Scottish Government has confirmed additional funding of £1.1 billion to support the health and social care sector in its response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This follows our detailed review of financial implications for each NHS Board and Integration Authority, and ensures that frontline health and care services continue to receive the level of support required. Further detail on funding for each NHS Board area is set out in response to question S5W-32107 on 29 September 2020.
