Question
To ask the Scottish Government when it will next review the provision of building control verification services.
Answer
Scottish Government monitors all verification services on an ongoing basis through quarterly performance data returns.
During the COVID-19 pandemic period individual verification services have been monitored weekly to assess the impacts on workforce capacity and business continuity. Verifiers have demonstrated their service resilience by responding to the needs of their customers by enhancing digital processes.
In advance of any further periods of appointment from May 2023 a full review of verification performance is planned for Autumn 2022.
