Recommendations
Recommendations (the sheriff's words)Recommendations When officers are advised of the need for medication, they should get it. The system of classification of calls should be more sophisticated and there should be a more sophisticated grading system. Grampian Police themselves are contemplating having five gradings rather than four and that would result from a splitting of Grade 2. The calls in the higher grading in Grade 2 should be attended to within 3 minutes.
Under section 28 of the 2016 Act, each recipient of a recommendation must respond within 8 weeks. The 8-week window is counted from the publication date. See how we track responses.
