Integration Authorities - https://www.sehd.scot.nhs.uk/dl/DL(2020)28.pdf

NHS Boards and Integration Authorities are now requested to ensure that a 3 year Workforce Plan is developed no later than 31st March 2022. These plans should cover the period 1st April 2022 until 31st March 2025.

Errata

Please note that the timescales and delivery dates in this publication are subject to change due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The Guidance supporting file has also been replaced with an updated version.

An errata was published on 11/02/2020 as a result of textual changes to PDF pages 16, 25, and 28.

The PDF and HTML have both been updated within the document to reflect these changes.
