Information requested
Correspondence sent from Senior Civil Servants, Ministers and NHS Scotland Officials to Health Boards regarding temporary staffing, specifically bank and agency staff, in July, August, September and October.
We have interpreted your request as pertaining to correspondence relating to the programme of improvement linked to the Supplementary Staffing Task and Finish Group and Medical Locum Engagement Task and Finish Group.
Response
I enclose a copy of the information you requested. Exemptions under section 38(1)(b) have been applied to some of the information, due to some of the documents containing personal information.
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, the Scottish Government does not hold correspondence sent directly from NHS Scotland officials to NHS Scotland Health Boards. You may wish to contact individual Health Boards to obtain this information.
