Request and Response

In light of the Royal College of Nursing's recent report on corridor care in Scotland, can I request the following information for the calendar years a) 2023, b) 2024 and c) 2025 (most recent):

  1. How many incidents have been reported by either a member of staff, patient or family member where care has been delivered in an inappropriate setting? By inappropriate setting, I am using the RCN's definition, as outlined in its report: "By inappropriate setting, we mean a place not designed for patient care, such as a corridor, storage area, waiting room, office or carpark."

NHS Shetland has had NO instances of corridor care.

  1. Please provide details for any incident reported in Q1.
