Scottish Labour criticises the Scottish Government over long waiting times for Disclosure Scotland checks. According to figures obtained by Scottish Labour, at least one application is waiting 301 days, compared with a stated 14-day target. The Evening Standard reports this contrast between an expected turnaround time and the much longer delays experienced by applicants. The Belfast Telegraph similarly frames the issue as a failure of the Scottish Government to meet Disclosure Scotland waiting-time expectations. Both reports focus on the same basic point: that some applications take far longer than the service’s published target. The coverage does not indicate that the delays affect a specific type of application, nor does it provide further operational detail such as staffing levels, backlogs by category, or steps being taken to reduce the waiting list. The criticism is presented as being based on the Labour-published figures, with attention on the gap between the target timeframe and the longest reported waiting period.
