The question
To ask the Scottish Executive how many incidents of workplace racial discrimination have been reported in NHS Scotland in each of the last three years for which information is available, also broken down by NHS board and expressed as a percentage of each board's staff complement, and how many of these reports related to incidents of discrimination by (a) staff and (b) members of the public on staff.
The answer
The Scottish Government does not receive reports, nor does it hold information on what reports are made to NHS boards or Area partnership forums, on the incidence of workplace racial discrimination.
The Equal Opportunities PIN Policy sets out boards’ obligations in terms of local policies developed in line with the PIN. Area partnership forums should agree a set of equality objectives, which may include the incidence of workplace racial discrimination, and should receive reports on the outcomes. Individual NHS boards may therefore have information on local incidents.
