NHS Forth Valley chiefs under fire after not revealing bullying data

NHS Forth Valley has been accused of an “avoidance of scrutiny” after failing to providing data on bullying cases.

The controversy has arisen following a Freedom of Information request from the Scottish Conservatives, querying each of Scotland’s health boards on the number of recorded incidents of bullying.

It has revealed that Forth Valley had five or fewer bullying cases in 2021-22 - the precise number is protected in the figures due to fears over the disclosure of individuals - but the health board provided no information on the other four years - 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21.
