S6W-28362
Asked by: Duncan-Glancy, Pam (Scottish Labour - Glasgow) Thursday 4th July 2024 Question To ask the Scottish Government what its position is on whether there should be trade union representation on the board of Qualifications Scotland. Answered by Gilruth, Jenny - Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills The Education (Scotland) Bill, introduced by the Scottish Parliament on 4 June, sets out the provisions for Board membership of Qualifications Scotland to include one or more member who has relevant knowledge of the interests of employees within Qualifications Scotland. The Scottish Government recognises the importance of ensuring that there is an effective staff voice within the formal governance structures of Qualifications Scotland. As the Bill progresses in Parliament, there will be opportunities to consider the detail of this aspect, as part of the organisational design work. Further engagement will take place with SQA staff and the recognised unions on this matter. |
S6W-28261
Asked by: Lennon, Monica (Scottish Labour - Central Scotland) Wednesday 3rd July 2024 Question To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to the Scotland Student Midwives Finance Report, published by the Royal College of Midwives. Answered by Gray, Neil - Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care The Scottish Government welcomes the Student Midwives Finance Report, published by the Royal College of Midwives and thanks them for holding the roundtable event in the Scottish Parliament on 30 May 2024. The event was attended by the Chief Midwifery Officer Justine Craig who heard powerful accounts from the students who clearly articulated their experiences. A similar event was held by the Royal College of Nursing in September last year and following that the Scottish Government created a short-life working group comprising representatives from the Scottish Government, Student Awards Agency Scotland and higher education institutes to review the placement expenses guidance. This group recently concluded its review and revised guidance will go live on the 1 of July. Their work will ensure students are refunded as promptly as possible and has provided students with greater flexibility on issues such as claiming advance payments. A national FAQs has also been developed to ensure greater consistency in the application of the guidance by HEIs across the country. The Scottish Government has also committed to carrying out a review of student financial support more widely. |
S6W-28260
Asked by: Lennon, Monica (Scottish Labour - Central Scotland) Wednesday 3rd July 2024 Question To ask the Scottish Government how much time, on average, it takes for a student midwife to be repaid for any expenses incurred on clinical placements, and what action it is taking to decrease this. Answered by Gray, Neil - Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) manage the reimbursement of clinical placement expenses for student paramedics, nurses and midwives on behalf of the Scottish Government and has a 12 day service level agreement in place. Since the start of the 2024-25 academic year the average turnaround time is 7.2 days and as of 21 June, SAAS were working on claims received on 20 June. All placement expenses are routed to SAAS via Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) who assess students’ claims in the first instance before sending them to SAAS for reimbursement. The Scottish Government, SAAS and HEIs have met regularly to improve the process of these reimbursements and to create more flexibility within the rules for students. Revised guidance will go live on 1 July 2024 and a key element of these improvements has been to ensure that students are aware that they can claim expenses in advance. |
