Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the implementation of the Health and Care (Staffing) (Scotland) Act 2019.
Answer
In June 2022 the then Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care, Humza Yousef published a timetable for the implementation of the Health and Care (Staffing) (Scotland) Act 2019 on both the Healthcare Improvement Scotland website and Care Inspectorate website .
This timetable is still valid although it is noted the guidance consultation period is now due to start in June 2023, rather than May 2023.
If there is a particular element of implementation you would like further information on, please do not hesitate to contact the Act Implementation Team using [email protected] .
