To ask the Scottish Government whether it is aware of any complaints of bullying by senior members of the Scottish Ambulance Service.
The Scottish Government is aware of complaints of bullying by senior members of staff in the Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS).
Whilst Scottish Government provide support in applying the appropriate policies, this is a contractual issue which, by law, must remain between an employee and SAS as their employer. We expect all health boards to thoroughly investigate any complaints made about bullying, regardless of grade, and to ensure that these are appropriately actioned.
