Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide a timeline for the full 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.
