PARLIAMENTARY: Scottish Employment Injuries Advisory Council Bill

This Member’s Bill seeks to establish a new body, the Scottish Employment Injuries Advisory Council (SEIAC) to provide expertise about support for people who can no longer work because of workplace injury or disease.

RCN Scotland supports the Bill and the creation of a Scottish Employment Injuries Advisory Council (SEIAC).

Every RCN member has the right to go to work without fear of injury or illness. However, when the worst does happen the RCN provides assistance and, where necessary, arranges legal representation for its members to secure compensation, benefits and support, such as rehabilitation.
