MEDIUM SECURE SUPPLEMENT
Description
Following the introduction of Agenda for Change in 2004, a Recruitment and Retention Premium (RRP) was agreed for staff working within NHS Scotland’s Medium Secure facilities. The RRP has been renewed periodically ever since but the question of whether an RRP is the most appropriate way of recognising the unique challenges presented by this environment has now been considered by a Working Group convened by the Scottish Terms and Conditions Committee (STAC). The Working Group’s conclusion, approved by STAC, is that a new supplement should be put in place for staff working within a Medium Secure environment in NHS Scotland. The supplement will replace the current RRP from 1 April 2023 meaning Boards with Medium Secure facilities will no longer be required to apply to have their payments renewed. The supplement will have the same qualifying criteria as the current RRP and be of the same value. Annex A sets out these parameters in full.
