An additional £500,000 will be made available to Scottish health boards in 2020/21 to provide dedicated mental health support for health and social care staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Health Boards will be able to immediately recruit psychologists and other staff dedicated to supporting the mental health of the health and social care workforce. This funding will be followed by a further £1 million in each of the next two financial years.
