Question
To ask the Scottish Government when the next set of Action 15 recruitment figures will be published.
Answer
The most recent recruitment figures were published on the Scottish Government website ( https://www.gov.scot/publications/mental-health-workers-quarterly-performance-reports/ ) on 19 October. This sets out the number of Whole Time Equivalent posts recruited to as 1 July 2020.
In normal circumstances, we collect and report these figures on a quarterly basis. In recognition of the impact that the pandemic response has had on services, we have moved to a 6 monthly collection this year.
The next collection is due to take place during January 2021 and will be published shortly after that.
