Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the effect on patient safety of the implementation of the Health and Care (Staffing) (Scotland) Act 2019; and if he will make a statement.
It is a matter for the devolved Government for Scotland to make any assessment of the effects on patient safety of the implementation of their legislation.
When any such assessment is made available we will review it as we review a range of evidence on the provision of healthcare.
