Notes:

The same individual may be counted in one or more of the shielding groups.

There may be variation, across Health Boards, in the way that patients in group 7 are identified.

Individuals are categorised as group 7 if no other group is specified.

Group 7 also includes patients who are receiving renal dialysis treatment.

Figures exclude individuals with an unknown area of residence and those recorded as outwith Scotland.

Figures exclude individuals who have died and those flagged for removal from the shielding list. Individuals may be flagged for removal for a number of reasons including false positive identification, having moved away or no longer requiring to shield following discussion with a clinician.”

It is not possible to provide information on the exact reasons why individuals have been asked to shield within each specific shielding group as this is not recorded in the list of people who have been asked to shield.

The following table provides information on the number of individuals who have been asked to shield categorised by shielding group. Individuals who fall within more than one shielding group are counted under each group but only once in the overall total.

Brakes and Bidfood, who are contracted to fulfil the orders, reported that by 24 April 2020, 92,316 grocery boxes had been delivered.

On any given date, the number of grocery boxes requested includes all boxes due to be delivered over the following week. This means that the number of boxes requested will always be higher than the number already delivered. The exact day on which person’s box will be delivered depends on which day of the week Brakes and Bidfood deliver to their postcode. Under the Scottish Government’s agreement with Brakes and Bidfood, people who are shielding receive their first grocery box within
‎ 7 days of their request reaching Brakes and Bidfood. Thereafter they receive their box(es) once a week, until they cancel the deliveries.

a) Following sign-up through the Ready Scotland website, the NHS Health and Social Care recruitment campaign involves both NHS Education for Scotland officials working with Health Boards, and the Scottish Social Services Council working with social care providers, to match applicants to placements. Offers of employment are being made across all Scottish Health and Social Care Partnerships with nearly 700 applicants ready to be deployed and more than 3,600 NHS returners in the process of completing their pre-employment checks. Please note that these are all paid positions.

b) The new British Red Cross deployment recording process has confirmed that, since 13 April, 112 Community Reserve Volunteers have been deployed across the East, West and North Resilience Partnership areas. Volunteer Scotland do not currently track individual volunteer journeys from sign up through to formal volunteering roles, so those figures are not readily available.

The ‘Scotland Cares’ campaign connects British Red Cross and Volunteer Scotland schemes to local authority and third sector activity in communities, creating a pool of volunteers for local organisations to draw upon and deploy as required. Feedback from Local Authorities, Resilience Partnerships, and Third Sector Interface leads, confirms that local volunteering needs are currently being met. Although many of the volunteers who have signed up will not be needed immediately, they are likely to be critical in efforts to support and rebuild communities over the weeks and months to come. It should be noted that thousands of individuals were already volunteering in their communities before the launch of the ‘Scotland Cares’ campaign.

The response from the public has been incredible and the Scotland Cares recruitment campaign is being paused as we enter the next phase. The campaign will re-open should more volunteers be needed.
