Question
To ask the Scottish Government what measures the Nursing and Midwifery Taskforce has agreed on that will aim to "improve working conditions for nurses".
Answer
The taskforce has established four subgroups to focus on attraction, education and development, leadership and culture, and wellbeing. All subgroups are considering retention as part of their remit. Each subgroup will formulate and provide recommended actions to the main taskforce. The Taskforce is making good progress with the development of its recommended actions and will continue to work until members have agreed a comprehensive action plan. We anticipate the publication of a report later in 2024.
