Labour slam Disclosure Scotland's £100m temp bill
THE SNP Scottish government has presided over “chaos” and a 10-figure temp bill at Disclosure Scotland, Labour has warned.
Figures uncovered by the party found that the executive agency tasked with carrying out criminal record and background checks for employers and charities on those working with vulnerable groups saw its spending on temporary staff soar in recent years.
In 2012, Disclosure Scotland spent £1.9 million on temporary workers, a figure that rocketed to £39.8m by 2018.
