“I note that the Deputy First Minister has confirmed that vape shops will be excluded from eligibility for relief from 1 April 2027, and I welcome that commitment. How will that contribute to the Scottish Government’s public health commitments and build on the progress that has been made on reducing the harm that vapes can cause?”
“That is exactly why we are taking action to ensure that vape shops contribute to the high street, recognising the growth of the sector in recent years, and also to ensure that rates relief aligns with our public health commitments, to answer the member’s point.”
“In the 1970s, the then- Labour Glasgow City Council proposed demolishing the People’s Palace building to put in a motorway—a potential work of historical vandalism of epic proportions.”
“I remind members of my entry in the register of members’ interests: I hold a bank nurse contract with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. The Queen Elizabeth university hospital in Glasgow was recently ordered by Healthcare Improvement Scotland to make 26 improvements.”
“With that in mind, we always want to encourage women to access the care that they need. In my statement, I intimated that I quickly met the chief executive of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and, separately, Healthcare Improvement Scotland.”
“Being able to communicate your needs and have them be understood is fundamental to care. I also took the opportunity to engage with Healthcare Improvement Scotland, which confirmed the proactive leadership and ownership by the chief executive and the board.”

“Having started 22 years ago with a single vehicle and a 5,000 square foot warehouse, it now has facilities that spread over 40,000 square feet and a fleet of vehicles, and it supplies retailers, manufacturers, hotels, restaurants, takeaways and events across the country. The Scottish wholesale sector provides a vital service, ensuring that our food and drink supply chain runs smoothly and supporting retail and hospitality businesses. The sector is undoubtedly crucial to the success of many food and drink businesses. To put it simply, our producers make their world-class products, retailers and service providers make them available to the public, and wholesalers are the crucial conduit. They have an important role to play in the growth of Scotland’s economy and the promotion of the Scottish food and drink industry.”
“Today, Dunns Food & Drinks is a fourth- generation company with Joseph Dunn’s great- granddaughter, Julie Dunn, at the helm. It has a remarkably wide portfolio of high-quality products, which it delivers largely to the Scottish hospitality trade. Dunns retains its connection to the soft drinks industry via its Currie’s brand—the home of many long-time family favourites. I am sure that my Ayrshire colleagues will be as interested as I was to learn that its red kola recipe remains largely the same after 100 years. The product has a particularly committed following in and around Ayrshire, where the company sells more than 5 million bottles a year. Spiceway in Rutherglen is another independent, family-run food and drinks wholesale business in my constituency, and it has gone from strength to strength.”
“We often talk about the industry’s importance to rural and island communities—indeed, many of my colleagues have mentioned that in this debate—but it reaches into every community in Scotland, including more urban areas such as my Rutherglen constituency. Dunns Food & Drinks in Blantyre, which is a multi-award-winning wholesale supplier and one of Scotland’s most historic family businesses, is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. In 1875, Joseph Dunn established a soft drinks business in the east end of Glasgow at a time when increasingly popular aerated waters were sold from horse-pulled carts. Dunns continued to expand throughout the 20th century, moving to Cambuslang in 1995 and then to Blantyre, where it remains.”
“In the chamber last week, I raised my concerns about the risks of the proposal for an English whisky geographical indication, and I asked how the Government is protecting the value of provenance in the Scottish food and drink industry. I welcomed the cabinet secretary’s reassurance that this Scottish Government is absolutely committed to supporting the sector and its incredible products. The sector, which is worth an incredible £15 billion, is one of the most successful sectors in Scotland, and food and drink are our biggest non- energy exports. Scotland’s produce is renowned for its quality and its clear provenance, and the sector is driven forward by the resilience and innovation of our producers and wholesalers.”
“We are delivering on that, and I look forward to reporting more to Parliament in that regard in due course.”
“Neil Gray: I have already set out the high-level data around waiting times. The latest figures show that our plan to bring down waiting times is delivering. That was part of a £30 million investment in this financial year, and we are investing £100 million in the coming year. The £30 million delivered almost 56,500 diagnostic procedures, which exceeded the original plan to deliver 40,000. The figure is up by 41 per cent, reducing the waiting list for imaging by almost 12 per cent and that for scopes by more than 4 per cent. On the plan that we have in place, I remind Jackie Baillie that she did not support the budget that saw that money going into the system so as to get those reductions in waiting times. She wants to see the end without willing the means.”
“It is our money. Jackie Baillie: The SNP failed to vote for that in Westminster. That is just a fact. The cabinet secretary set out the money, but he did not say when the machines would be replaced. We know that outdated equipment is only part of the story. Only a few weeks ago, I asked the First Minister about the reported shortage of clinical radiologists, which is projected to rise to a total of 263 fewer posts than will be needed by 2028. The effects of that are being felt now. The latest diagnostic waiting list data shows that, at the end of last year, there were 3,954 waits of more than a year, which is an 11.7 per cent increase in the space of a year. When will those long waits be eradicated, to ensure that patients who need tests are seen without any further delay?”
“Blantyre LIFE has embraced the use of technology in its own facilities, and it has shared its learning and championed technology use with other providers and wider communities. In a similar way, a crucial arm of the Digital Lifelines Scotland project is dedicated to upskilling staff and volunteers and providing support and funding to other organisations to develop digital tools and support. All of that is key to our ultimate shared goal of enabling and empowering people to live more independent, longer and healthier lives. I remind members of my entry in the register of members’ interests. I hold a bank nurse contract with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. 16:15”
“In a taste of things to come, the campus worked in partnership with the National Robotarium to welcome ARI, an early social robot prototype that aims to assist with post-injury recovery. That is cutting-edge technology, right at the heart of my community. Last month, Blantyre LIFE celebrated supporting 200 people through re-enablement in its first year of operation. It has established a strong reputation for its pioneering work, welcoming several fact- finding missions from overseas as well as from across Scotland and the rest of the UK to see how technology is being used to make day-to-day living easier and safer. Key components of Blantyre LIFE’s on-going work are the way in which it delivers services and the dedicated staff who work there.”
“Taken together, those digital solutions can be game changers in empowering people to live independent lives for longer in the heart of their own community, interacting with health and social care services when needed, while avoiding unnecessarily prolonged hospital stays. Blantyre LIFE also has a technology-enabled care—TEC—zone, a demonstration area that was designed and built as a first-of-its-kind partnership with the Glasgow Science Centre. Visitors to the TEC zone can test out technology and chat to a specialist team to learn about solutions to support themselves and their loved ones at home. The zone also facilitates regular technology-enabled care training sessions for staff, both online and in person.”
“It is a fantastic example of how digital technology can be used to provide increasingly sophisticated health and social care and help to manage system pressures while improving experiences and outcomes and helping to reduce inequalities. Some tech solutions can be the smart consumer devices that are found in many homes, such as voice-activated lights and gadgets, smart speakers, tablets and video doorbells. Others can be more specialised, including remote alert and fall-detection systems or sensors and pressure pads that enable a prompt response from carers if required. The Near Me video consulting services and Connect Me remote health monitoring services enable people to monitor and manage their own healthcare and be well connected with their healthcare professionals.”
“It is a fantastic example of the powerful manner in which digital inclusion and digital services can be enabled to support individuals whose health is at risk of harm, and of the positive change that such projects can facilitate not only for individuals but for services as a whole. I am also delighted to have the opportunity to highlight the excellent work that is under way in my Rutherglen constituency at Blantyre LIFE, which is a multimillion-pound development that was supported by Scottish Government funding. The facilities on the campus include a 20-bed intermediate transitional care unit and 20 technology-enabled homes, all equipped with state-of-the-art telecare systems that are designed to support independent living.”
“Today’s debate is timely, as this evening I am sponsoring an event on behalf of the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations and the Digital Health and Care Innovation Centre on the Digital Lifelines Scotland project. Digital Lifelines is a cross-sector initiative that seeks to improve digital inclusion and to design digital solutions that better meet people’s needs, improve health outcomes for people who use drugs and reduce the risk of harm and death. To date, the project has supported around 4,500 people who are at risk of drug harm to be digitally included, enabling access to services such as digital harm reduction information and overdose detection apps.”
“We regularly meet our NHS boards’ communications teams to provide leadership, to collaborate and to agree common approaches to communicating information among NHS health boards and across NHS Scotland. We will continue to listen carefully to patients and families who are involved in the inquiry, and to others further afield. I will work with the health boards to ensure that we all learn lessons and put them at the heart of the decisions that are taken on patients and their families.”
“I welcome the Scottish Government’s commitment to learning lessons. Although I appreciate that time will be required to fully consider the recommendations, can the cabinet secretary advise how he will look to improve communication in the future? I remind members of my entry in the register of members’ interests: I hold a bank nurse contract with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. Neil Gray: I thank Clare Haughey for her question. Obviously, it is critically important to me, as it is to the public, that NHS boards acknowledge not only that their services exist to treat patients, but that patients and their families should always be given clear information about those services and their care. Where boards fail in that duty, we need to ensure that that is rectified.”
“Through our working together with private owners and communities, homes are being reoccupied in the places where they are needed most. Cladding Remediation 8.”
“Will the minister advise Parliament of the continued importance of the Scottish empty homes partnership in ensuring that unoccupied and void properties are brought back into use in the greater Glasgow area and across Scotland? Paul McLennan: The success of the Scottish empty homes partnership, which works closely with private home owners, local authorities and third sector partners, was recognised by a 2023 independent audit as delivering value for money, and it has cross-party support. Since 2010, more than 11,000 empty homes have been returned to use, including many across the greater Glasgow area. In 2025-26, we will invest a further £2 million through the partnership to support local authorities in accelerating the pace of that work.”
“That builds on the record high spending on additional support for learning by local authorities of more than £1 billion in 2023-24. Supporting those with additional support needs in schools will continue to be a joint endeavour with local authorities, which retain the statutory responsibility for the delivery of education in Scotland. That will enable us to build on the work that is being delivered through the additional support for learning action plan. The Presiding Officer: Question 5 was not lodged. Education (Participation in Sport) 6.”
“Can the minister set out the importance of the work that support staff undertake in our schools and how the recently passed budget is allowing local authorities to ensure that they are adequately resourced with support staff, whose experience can help schools meet the needs of our young people? It was, of course, a budget that Pam Duncan-Glancy and her Labour colleagues failed to vote for. Graeme Dey: As I said a moment ago, we absolutely recognise the value of the role that support staff play in supporting learners, particularly the most vulnerable. That is why, in the budget, we have prioritised an additional £29 million for local and national programmes to support the recruitment and retention of the additional support needs workforce, with £28 million going directly to local government and £1 million retained for national work.”
“I think that we are all in agreement that women and girls in Scotland must be empowered to exercise equal rights and opportunities, have equitable access to economic resources and decision making, and live their lives free from all forms of violence, abuse and harassment. The Scottish Government is continually taking forward work to protect, promote and improve equality for women and girls in Scotland.”
“The serious point is that the public sector has absolutely risen to the challenge of doing the right thing by our children and young people, and we are seeing much progress in that area. The Scottish Government is now in the process of developing robust proposals to incorporate into Scots law international treaties concerning women, disabled people and people who have experienced racism. Our public services are just that—they are public and accessible to everyone, and they must balance the needs of all users. Sometimes that will not be an easy task, and decisions will require to be made on a case-by-case basis, using a commonsense, practical and empathetic approach that is cognisant of particular local circumstances. All of us in our leadership roles must reinforce the need to treat everyone with compassion, dignity and respect.”
“It endeavours to ensure that equality duties are considered in everything that it does and that a consistent approach is applied to planning and resourcing the provision of safe spaces for everyone where services are delivered. Just last week, I had the privilege of speaking to and answering questions from two sets of school pupils in my constituency. One topic of discussion was the incorporation into Scots law of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which was a landmark moment in the Parliament’s history, and one of which we should be very proud. It is always with some amazement and a few open mouths that young people respond to hearing tales from my school days and how things have changed for the better.”
“The Scottish Government is taking practical steps to secure the progressive implementation of all human rights by seeking to embed equality, dignity and respect in our services. At Government level, that involves building the public sector’s capacity and capability to embed a human rights-based approach in everything that it does. I am aware of the comments that were made last week by Aberdeenshire Council’s principal solicitor in his evidence to the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee on reforms to the public sector equality duty. He acknowledged that, although there are pending judicial rulings and outcomes, Aberdeenshire Council’s focus as a public body is clear.”
“To establish a separate single-sex service, service providers must show that they meet at least one of a number of statutory conditions, and that limiting the service on the basis of sex is “a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.” For example, according to guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission, which is the UK body that is responsible for enforcing the legislation, a legitimate aim could be for reasons of privacy or decency, to prevent trauma or to ensure health and safety. The service provider must be able to show that their action is a proportionate way of achieving that aim. The Scottish Government has been crystal clear in its support of the 2010 act’s provision of separate and single-sex exemptions. As a modern progressive nation, it is incumbent on us to demonstrate our leadership on human rights.”
“To reiterate points that colleagues have already made, public bodies in Scotland are expected to comply with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010, and it is the responsibility of service providers to interpret and comply with that UK act. The legislation is clear that single-sex spaces to enable and enhance the protection of women and girls are permissible.”
“All of us in Parliament have a responsibility to ensure that women and girls are supported to participate fully in decisions that affect their lives in relation to all personal, educational and professional opportunities. Of course, there are some important areas of law that are relevant to today’s debate that are currently reserved, such as the Equality Act 2010. The law around single-sex spaces has been the same across Britain since that act was passed by the UK Parliament more than a decade ago. The law functions in two ways. A policy that does not allow trans people to access single-sex spaces in line with their lived sex will be unlawful if it is not “a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.” However, the legislation allows spaces to be operated on a separate-sex basis without that being unlawful sex discrimination.”
“Women experience and navigate public space differently from men, and that has long been the case. Pre- existing gender inequalities have dictated women’s patterns of movement and participation outside the home for decades, if not centuries. There are the dynamics of paid and unpaid work and women’s participation in the public and domestic spheres, their use of or exclusion from different public buildings and services, and issues around safety and security. Gender inequality is an enduring issue because structures have perpetuated it. The Scottish and UK Governments, the public and third sectors and businesses all have a role to play in restructuring our systems.”
“To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking to protect the value of provenance in the Scottish food and drink industry. (S6O-04414)”
“On behalf of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee, I look forward to continuing the work with my joint committee colleagues and with members from across the chamber to effectively scrutinise and help to tailor forthcoming policies to reduce, and ultimately to end, drug harms to people in Scotland. I remind members of my entry in the register of members’ interests, which says that I hold a bank nursing contract with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. The Deputy Presiding Officer: I take the opportunity to advise members that we have some time in hand at this point. I call Collette Stevenson to open on behalf of the Social Justice and Social Security Committee. 15:25”
“In conclusion, although the recommendations that I have briefly touched on fall mainly within the health remit, it is clear from the panel’s comprehensive report that a multipronged approach to policy making is required if we are to be effective in reducing drug harms in Scotland. Just as the people’s panel embraced the need for collaborative working, so must we in this chamber. Cross-party and cross-remit working will be essential if we are effectively to tackle drug harms in Scotland and ensure that services meet a standard that addresses the needs of those who require them.”
“I also want to take the opportunity to highlight issues around funding and, in particular, the impact that short-term funding is having on access to care and support and its detrimental impact on the workforce. Indeed, the impact of short-term funding was highlighted throughout the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee’s budget scrutiny, in which we called for multiyear packages to be implemented to allow organisations to better plan the provision of services. Those calls have been echoed in the panel’s report, which states that there needs to be a guaranteed and protected five-year minimum period of funding for community and third sector services. I welcome the launch of the drugs mission fund and the fairer funding pilot, which I hope will provide much-needed assurances to front-line services.”
“Similarly, in order to streamline support for people in need, the Scottish Government must act to ensure that all public and third sector services are enabled to share information, with all bodies having a general data protection regulation- compliant information sharing agreement in place that involved service user consent. That would allow for easy sharing of relevant information, which would avoid duplication and remove the need for service users to repeat their stories, which can often be traumatic and affect the consistency of recovery pathways. It is also important to note that, to further improve consistency across services, the report recommends that medication assisted treatment standards should be extended to cover all drugs that cause harm, to ensure that people have access to the same standards and levels of care.”
“The panel heard that many people are unwilling to access support, either because of fears of discrimination or criminalisation or because of a general unwillingness to burden services that may not be equipped to respond. In order to address that, the report recommends the introduction of a well-publicised single point of access for specialised advice and support, or an alternative that would be provided by a third sector organisation. That would allow for service users, as well as families and friends, to have access to immediate support and advice, while simultaneously alleviating the strain on other services.”
“Those who were selected participated in two residential weekends at the Scottish Parliament and two online sessions, in October and November 2024. That work culminated in a collective statement and 19 recommendations. Only recommendations that secured the support of 87 per cent or more participants were included in the final report. I believe that that approach highlights the benefit of people’s panels, particularly when scrutinising a topic that covers a number of remits. The recommendations reflect a broad consensus, and I again thank the panel for providing a strong foundation for future policy discussion and scrutiny. I will now focus on specific points made in the report that are most pertinent to the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee’s remit.”
“Although I will be unable to cover all the points that are made in the report in the time allotted, I will highlight areas that are most pertinent to the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee’s remit. However, before I do so, I believe that it would be remiss of me not to briefly highlight the extensive work of the people’s panel. As is explained in the executive summary of the report, people’s panels help to empower citizens to actively contribute and deliberate on key issues. The provision by individuals of innovative and informed input enhances Parliament’s scrutiny and strengthens inclusive democratic participation. The people’s panel that we are discussing today consisted of 23 randomly selected individuals aged 16 to 75 from across Scotland.”
“For three years, members of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee have worked jointly with members of the Criminal Justice Committee and members of the Social Justice and Social Security Committee to examine how drug deaths and drug harm could be tackled in Scotland. Throughout that time, we have taken an holistic approach in looking at issues related to drug harm, and I am pleased that the panel’s report has captured how complex and nuanced a subject drug harm is. The report covers a wide range of issues and highlights multiple areas for the Government to consider, in the immediate term and for the future. I thank the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care for his letter of 10 February to the conveners of the joint committee, in which he outlined the Government’s support for the report’s recommendations.”
“As convener of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee, I am pleased to have the opportunity to open today’s important debate on the people’s panel report on reducing drug harm and deaths in Scotland. First, I offer my sincere thanks to the people’s panel for producing such a comprehensive report on the topic. I also thank all the parliamentary staff and members of the stewarding board who helped ensure that the process ran smoothly. In addition, I place on record my thanks to the various stakeholders who took the time to give evidence. The collaborative efforts of all those who have been involved in producing the report have been invaluable.”
“To ask the Scottish Government, in light of the United Kingdom Government increasing employer national insurance contributions, how it is supporting local authority finances. (S6O-04389)”
“Of their founders, 34.7 per cent identify as female, which is significantly higher than the industry average. A comprehensive evaluation of the Techscaler programme’s delivery to date has been commissioned. It is currently under way and is due to be completed in the summer of this year. That will help us to build on those successes and further strengthen Scotland’s position as a leading start-up nation. Petition PE1979 (National Whistleblowing Officer) 2.”
“Recent reports have indicated that Scotland is leading the United Kingdom in the growth of technology start- ups and that its success runs entirely contrary to the overall decline in the sector in the rest of the UK. Given the Scottish Government’s ambition to make Scotland one of the best places in the world to develop, launch and scale up a tech company, what assessment has the minister made of the success of Scotland’s leading Techscaler programme? Richard Lochhead: I thank Clare Haughey for highlighting some positive reports that have been published about Scotland’s performance in that area. The “Techscaler Annual Report 2024” shows remarkable progress. Techscaler has more than 1,400 members from nearly 1,000 start-ups, and member businesses have raised £118 million in capital since the programme began.”
“To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made of the impact of the rise in employer national insurance contributions on local authority partnership early learning and childcare settings. (S6O-04377)”
“Challenging stigma is not an easy task, especially as eating disorders are, by their nature, associated with deniability, secrecy, stigma and shame. However, to help and treat people and save lives, we must all rise to that challenge. I again thank Beat for all that it does to that end and for the material that it has provided for this year’s awareness week. I recommend Beat’s website and helplines as a trustworthy, reliable and judgment-free source of support to anyone who is concerned about themselves or about a friend, colleague or loved one. 18:17”
“In that debate, our colleague Kevin Stewart spoke about the fact that “one in four people who develop an eating disorder is” male and highlighted that there is still much work to be done to raise awareness of that fact and change attitudes to ensure that “no one is afraid to come forward for help.”—[Official Report, 5 March 2024; c 90.] Since I first spoke on the subject in the chamber, there has been much positive progress. The Scottish Government’s mental health and wellbeing strategy and delivery plan specifically mentions stigma as a phenomenon that requires a sustained effort to tackle. There has also been a national review of eating disorder services; the establishment of the national eating disorders network; and work with those with lived experience.”
“This year, Beat’s eating disorders awareness week survey showed that four in five respondents answered that they would feel “more comfortable opening up to others about their experiences if there was greater awareness and understanding of eating disorders.” Respondents reported fearing “stigma around saying they have an eating disorder due to misconceptions about who is affected and the lack of knowledge about how eating disorders present.” Challenging those misconceptions can lead to people seeking help earlier, which can increase their chances of a full recovery. The topic of stigma frequently arises when we talk about eating disorders; last year’s debate in Parliament underlined that with its focus on ARFID, which is a less well-known condition.”
“The risk of not receiving support and treatment for any mental illness can be incredibly dangerous, and that is even more true for eating disorders. Together, they are responsible for more loss of life than any other form of psychological illness, and anorexia nervosa has the highest mortality rate of any mental illness. When they are not fatal, such disorders can still lead to severe long-term physical health consequences, such as organ damage and fertility issues, and can increase the risk of heart problems and type 2 diabetes.”
“Disorders such as ARFID, anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating disorder and OSFED are complex mental health conditions. Of course, they affect not only the person with the condition but their family and friends, who can feel helpless and heartbroken as they watch their loved ones struggle. With that level of prevalence, most of us probably know someone who is, or who has been, affected. That is why the focus of this year’s eating disorders awareness week is that eating disorders can affect anyone, regardless of their age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity or background, and it is not always those whom we might expect. Eating disorders are often misunderstood, mislabelled or undiagnosed, which can prevent people from reaching out for help.”
“I refer members to my entry in the register of members’ interests. I am a registered mental health nurse and hold a current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and I am employed as a bank nurse by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. I am pleased to speak in the debate, which has become an annual fixture in the Parliament, to mark eating disorders awareness week. I thank my colleague Emma Harper for lodging the motion and for her commitment to bringing the subject to the chamber and focusing minds on how important it is. Eating disorders do not discriminate and anyone can be affected by them. They are serious illnesses that can change, and even end, lives. The eating disorders charity Beat estimates that at least one in 50 people in Scotland are living with an eating disorder, but the real number could be even higher.”
“The vast majority of our dedicated healthcare professionals are fully committed to the welfare of the patients who are in their care, and they go above and beyond to support them in a way that is in their best interests. Where that does not happen, boards have a duty to address that and ensure that appropriate support and training are provided. The Mental Welfare Commission has a duty to visit people who are receiving care under mental health and incapacity legislation. Its visits allow us to hear directly from the person who is receiving care and treatment whether they feel that their rights are being respected. Where the Mental Welfare Commission identifies issues, NHS boards should prioritise them and report feedback and recommendations through their existing escalation and clinical governance structures.”
“I remind members that I hold a bank nurse contract with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. The culture in respect of and the attitude to the rights of service users that are reported to have been shown by some staff in Skye house are hugely concerning. Can the minister advise how the Scottish Government will champion the rights of vulnerable children and young people who use services such as Skye house and ensure that all staff are fully trained on the welfare of patients and are cognisant of the rights of all children and young people? Maree Todd: As I have set out, I am dedicated to strengthening the current system of scrutiny and assurance to drive improvement and protect Scotland’s vulnerable children and young people in in-patient settings.”
