Salus is an operational department of NHS Lanarkshire. Salus’ core business is the provision of occupational health services to NHS Lanarkshire staff. In addition, Salus undertakes commercial contracts for the provision of occupational health services to other public and private sector bodies. These contracts, and the detailed arrangements relating to them, are a matter for Salus and NHS Lanarkshire. All surpluses generated by Salus commercial activities are returned to NHS Lanarkshire and used to support service provision. Detailed figures are not held centrally.
