Information requested

This is an information request relating to private health insurance for staff. Please provide me with the following information for the 2025-26 financial year:

1) The total amount spent by your organisation on funding or subsidising private healthcare/medical insurance for your staff during the 2025-26 financial year

2) A summary or copy of the private healthcare policy/policies currently available to your staff. Please include details regarding the level of cover provided and the eligibility criteria for staff to access this benefit (e.g., whether it is available to all staff, or restricted to certain pay grades or roles).

3) The total number of staff members who were enrolled in or successfully claimed from this private healthcare scheme during the 2025-26 financial year.

Response

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Scottish Government does not have the information you have requested.

The organisation does not provide private medical insurance (PMI) for staff. We have defined private medical insurance as an employer-funded insurance policy that covers the cost of private healthcare treatment through private healthcare providers. SPPA holds no information within the scope of this request.
