Background

At the Scottish Workforce and Staff Governance (SWAG) Committee on 7 June 2017 it was agreed that there was a clear rationale for moving to a single policy position with the development of 'Once For Scotland'  Workforce Policies.

A Programme Board has been established to ensure the development of ‘Once for Scotland’ Workforce Policies within agreed timescales and in line with the vision and key principles approved by the Scottish Workforce & Staff Governance Committee (SWAG) and which have been agreed by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport.

The Board consists of senior tri-partite membership across NHS Employers, National Staffside and Scottish Government. The Board reports to the Scottish Workforce & Staff Governance (SWAG) Committee and its Secretariat, and is accountable to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport.
