To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the answer of 12 December 2025 to Question 96735, how many of the HSE inspections carried out in Scotland in 2024-25 took place (a) on farms and (b) in social care settings.

-
In the year 2024/ 2025, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) carried out 1,444 inspections in Scotland.
Seven of these took place on farms (not including premises predominately involved in forestry or aquaculture); and eleven took place in social care settings.
These figures are based on raw live data and can be subject to change due to updates to historical cases. Therefore these figures may differ to the figures published in HSE’s Annual Reports.
