This Member’s Bill has been introduced by Mark Griffin MSP. It establishes a Scottish Employment Injuries Advisory Council (SEIAC). SEIAC would be an independent body, separate from the Scottish Government.
SEIAC would be able to commission research and come up with recommendations on the support available to people who can no longer work because of workplace injury or disease.
The Bill proposes that employers and employees will be represented on SEIAC. SEIAC members would be expected to have experience or knowledge of workplace injury, the law on these matters, relevant medical practice, and the effect of disability on daily life.
As with all Bills, the Finance and Public Administration Committee invites written evidence on the estimated financial implications of the Bill as set out in its accompanying Financial Memorandum (FM).

The call for views closed on 11 September 2023.
The Committee received no submissions to the call for views and so agreed to take no further action on the Scottish Employment Injuries Advisory Council Bill.
