The Care Inspectorate has changed when services should submit the staff absences and vacancies notification.
Services are no longer required to submit this notification weekly and must only use this notification if staff absences and vacancies are impacting on the service’s ability to provide effective care.
The Care Inspectorate says, in its latest update, it is grateful to all services who have submitted weekly updates since this collection began in 2020, which have informed work at a service level and helped to understand national patterns and trends over time, with summaries shared with Scottish Government and Health and Social Care Partnerships.
