The Scottish Government is consulting on its draft Statutory Guidance for safe staffing in health and care.
The Health and Care (Staffing) (Scotland) – known as the Safe Staffing Act – was passed in 2019 and comes into force in April 2024.
The Guidance is to help NHS organisations comply with their duties on safe and appropriate staffing.
