The answer

Answered by Adam Ingram on 12 Jun 2009 · 9 days after it was lodged, on time

The use of single separation should be covered within existing guidance for care staff and all incidences of single separation should be recorded. These records are monitored during inspections by the Care Commission.
In addition, I refer the member to the answer to question S3W-24554 on 12 June 2009. All answers to written parliamentary questions are available on the Parliament''s website, the search facility for which can be found at http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/Apps2/Business/PQA/Default.aspx.
