The question
To ask the Scottish Executive why Nationally Co-ordinated Nurse Bank Arrangements: Report and Action Plan, published earlier this year, did not address bank nurse cover for practice nurses.
The answer
The Nationally Co-ordinated Nurse Bank Arrangements Report and Action Plan does incorporate bank nurse cover for practice nurses. A sample of practice nurses were issued questionnaires during the data collection phase of the project and the results were included in the final report and recommendations.
One of the key recommendations from the Nationally Co-ordinated Nurse Bank Arrangements Report and Action Plan is that “the organisation of nurse banks will be consolidated to NHS board level.” It is expected that these board area banks will address cover for practice nurses.
