Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the letter from the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care to the Member of 7 July 2022, whether it has taken forward discussions with Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS) officials to ascertain whether there are any concerns in relation to the regulation of private first aid companies which provide medical cover at events across Scotland.
Answer
Since I last updated the member in July, my officials have met with Healthcare Improvement Scotland to discuss this important issue.
Further engagement is now needed to consider the most appropriate next steps and we hope to be in a position to update Parliament in the near future. I will respond directly to the member when we have further information to share.
