POLICY: Resource Spending Review Framework Consultation

The primary concerns of our members are their capacity and ability to deliver the right safe and effective care in the right place at the right time and to be paid a fair wage for doing so.

The very size of NHS Scotland as it currently stands, in terms of cost to the Scottish Budget; size of workforce and purchasing power; coupled with similar matters as they may relate to existing non-NHS health and social care services and any new National Care Service, makes it impossible to conceive of health and social care occupying anything other than a central position in the Resource Spending Review process.
