The additional funding will be allocated to NHS Boards and Health and Social Care Partnerships across the country.
The move has been made to help support COVID-19 related costs such as additional staffing or sickness expenditure, enhanced infection prevention and control measures, and the purchase of PPE.
Commenting, Stewart Stevenson MSP said:
“This additional funding is welcome as the country prepares for the winter period.
“It will help the sector as it continues to support the public through the greatest public health crisis in our lifetime.
“The Scottish Government is taking the action to support services and ensure NHS Boards and local Health and Social Care partnerships are prepared for the continued presence of COVID-19.”
