Thank
you.
Our
next
item
of
business
is
consideration
of
business
motion.
192
z28
in
the
name
of
Grimm
D,
on
behalf
the
Bureau
setting
out
a
revision
to
today's
business
and
Thursdays
business
and
Chloe
MD
to
move
this
motion,
move
that
is
moved
November
ask
them
to
speak
against
this
motion
and
by
the
way
the
motion
brings
forward
decision
times
a
quarter
to
five.
So
the
question
is
that
motion
one
9208
be
agreed:
are
we
all
agreed?
A
B
C
I
know
the
member
will
agree.
The
key
factor
in
the
full
reinstatement
of
their
service
to
24/7
is
patient
safety.
Since
the
our
cpc-h
review
in
2016
nHS
Lothian
have
recruited
an
additional
16
staff,
but
at
the
same
time
as
happens
across
our
NHS,
three
staff
have
left
to
take
up
post
elsewhere
and
a
further
three
are
on
reduced
hours
or
extended
maternity
leave.
The
current
staffing
means
that
32
of
the
40
out
of
our
chefs
needed
to
reach
24/7
delivery
can
be
covered,
so
more
equipment
is
needed.
B
You
cabinet
secretary
West,
Lothian
parents
are
deeply
disappointed,
not
least
because
they
faced
yet
another
winter.
Traveling
to
Edinburgh
was
the
real
ones
the
weekend
when
the
cudeman
should
be
cared
for
locally,
but
they
are
nonetheless
determined
to
see
both
the
Scottish
Government
and
NHS
delivered
on
their
commitments.
So
will
the
cabinet's
actually
commit
to
meet
with
parents
to
see
what
is
no
different
about
the
plan
she
had
outlined
and
when
we
can
expect
a
24/7
service
at
the
Children's
water
cabinet.
C
Secretary
I'm
grateful
to
the
member
for
that
additional
question.
I
absolutely
understand
the
disappointment
on
face
my
parents
in
West
Lothian.
These
are
families
with
a
sick
child,
and
this
is
an
additional
worry
and
an
additional
burden
for
them
when
they
had
hoped
that
this
would
be
the
winter
when
they
did
not
have
to
undertake
that
additional
journey.
Of
course,
I
would
be
very
happy
to
meet
the
families
concerned
and
I'm
grateful
to
miss
Constance
for
any
support
that
she
can
offer
in
arranging
that.
B
Cabinetry
I
have
asked
repeatedly
about
the
supported
scrutiny
of
the
pediatric
program
board
in
delivering
a
24/7
Children's
Ward
service
and
with
the
challenges
in
pediatric.
Inpatient
services
across
the
Lutheran's
I
wondered
if
the
cabinet
secretary
agrees
that,
given
that
we
have
a
first-class
Children's
Ward,
that
providing
more
services
in
West
Lothian
can
not
only
help
anchor
a
24/7
service
absent
John's,
but
also
benefit
the
region
as
a
whole.
Camera.
C
Symmetry
I
do
very
much
agree
with
what
the
member
has
just
said.
I
think
an
important
point
that
she
has
made
is
that
we
have
instant
joins
a
first
class
and
undoubtedly
much-loved
Children's
Ward
I'm,
well
aware
of
the
growth
in
the
area
that
some
join
serves
and
the
nature
of
that
population
growth.
C
Many
families
with
young
children
I
fully
expect
nHS
Lothian
to
consider
the
lothian
wait:
delivery
of
pediatric
services,
both
in
hospital
and
community,
and
that
means
giving
active
consideration
to
the
design
and
delivery
of
services
and
I've,
asked
the
chief
medical
officer
to
engage
directly
with
nHS
Lothian
on
this
looking
across
the
entire
estate.
How
we
can
both
for
this
winter
and
the
coming
months,
but
in
the
longer
term,
make
sure
that
both
areas
of
the
estate
are
actively
and
properly
resourced
and
used
to
meet
the
populations
that
they
serve.
D
You
ablating
officer,
following
promises
from
the
cabinet
secretary
in
January
that
this
24/7
service
would
be
reinstated
at
all
by
families
will
indeed
be
better
ly,
disappointed
that
they've
been
laid
down.
Yet
again,
it's
not
been
a
good
year
for
nHS
Lothian.
Can
the
cabinet
secretary
guarantee
that
there's
pediatric
service
will
be
fully
reinstated
by
the
end
of
2019.
E
C
Secretary
I'm
grateful
to
miss
lannen
for
that
question.
Just
for
the
record
can
I
make
it
clear
that,
from
the
record,
when
I
made,
the
statement
in
January
I
was
very
clear
that
it
wasn't
a
promise
but
a
commitment,
because
I
am
NOT
personally
in
charge
of
staff
recruitment
and,
of
course,
I
have
asked
nHS
Lothian
to
over
recruit
in
order
to
ensure
that
the
can
take
account
of
instances
like
long
term
sicknesses
and
so
on,
and
all
of
those
play
a
big
part
in
the
hota.
C
At
this
point,
without
further
detailed
discussion
with
nHS
Lothian
about
what
other
opportunities
they
can
take
up
in
terms
of
advanced
nurse
practitioner,
training,
which
is
mr.
Lennon
will
recall,
is
a
significant
part
of
what
makes
us
sustainable
hota.
They
have
recruited
consultant
posts
that
are
hybrid
as
they
describe
it.
Ie
they
work
across
both
let
Edinburgh
and
st.
John's,
so
there
may
be
more
to
do
there
and
there
may
be
more
to
do
in
terms
of
existing
staff
who
are
prepared
to
take
on
additional
hours
in
a
sustainable,
long
term.
C
We're
not
a
short-term
we
as
well
as
the
equipment.
So
with
the
chief
nursing
officer
chief
medical
officer
and
myself,
we
will
look
in
considerable
detail
at
what
are
the
specific
plans
in
addition
to
what
I
know
and
have
outlined.
Lothian
know
intend
to
take
forward
and
what
more
we
will
require
them
to
take
forward
and
on
the
basis
of
that,
I
would
feel
in
a
more
confident
possession
to
be
able
to
indicate
exactly
when
I
think
they
will
be
able
to
reach
that
full
24/7
position.
C
C
Just
on
the
question
of
transport,
my
understanding
is
nHS.
Lothian
had
offered
additional
support
to
families
who
had
to
travel
into
edinburgh,
sick,
kids
and
then
in
order
to
help
them
return.
But
if
that
is
not
the
case,
then
I'm
happy
to
look
at
that
again
or
to
look
at
what
more
they
might
do
and
raise
that
directly
with
them
in
terms
of
when
I
think
I
would
be
able
to
come
back
to
this
chamber
and
update
them,
and
that
is
that
is
actually
a
very
difficult
question
for
me
to
respond
to
directly.
G
I
hope
you
can
see
this
copy
of
the
West
Lothian
Korea
from
February
2012
or
the
headline
staff
crisis
and
cads
Ward
les
shambles
has
been
on
for
seven
years
and
it
is
still
not
resolved.
The
cabinet
secretary
said
that
the
paediatric
board
may
at
the
end
of
August
and
made
a
decision
not
to
reopen
on
a
24/7
basis
in
October.
So
why
has
it
taken
from
end
of
August
until
the
end
of
September
a
month
later,
to
make
this
public?
Was
it
just
a
coincidence?
G
The
NHS
who
then
had
to
reply
to
a
letter
but
I,
said
I'm
about
this
last
week
and
that's
why
there
was
a
government
question
set
up
by
Angela
Constance
to
give
the
answer
that
was
given.
As
any
wonder,
the
public
have
little
faith
and
nHS
Lothian
in
the
cabinet
secretary,
when
we
see
a
shambles,
it's
enjoins
and
an
even
greater
shambles
at
the
SEC
kids
hospital
cameras.
C
Thank
You
presiding
officer
ion
I
completely
understand
mr.
Finley's
anger
at
this
matter.
It
is
not
the
case
that
there
there
was
suddenly
a
government
flurry
of
activity
because
he'd
written
a
letter,
the
program
board
did
make
that
decision
at
the
end
of
August.
But
what
we
did
was
question
that
decision
and
looked
further
at
it.
No
mr.
Finley,
you
may
be
cynical
and
skeptical
about
that,
but
that
that
does
not
alter
the
facts
of
the
matter.
You
would
expect
me
you
would
expect
me
to
query
what
abort
is
telling
me.
C
They
can't
do
when
what
they
can't
do
is
what
I
have
made
a
commitment
that
I
need
them
to
do
so,
of
course,
I
go
back
and
clearly
that
otherwise
I
would
be
feeling
in
my
responsibilities
as
a
cabinet
secretary
I,
don't
think
I,
don't
think
presiding
officer
is
overly
helpful
for
me
to
be
clear
in
this
chamber.
If
a
member
insist
on
continuing
to
shout
at
me,
I
am
trying
to
make
sure
that
members
are
kept
up
to
date
here.
I
I,
don't
know
mr.
Finley.
C
How,
well
you
know,
miss
Constance,
but
trust
me
setting
up
Miss
Constance
to
do
anything
is
a
very
unlikely
circumstance.
She
asked
a
question
quite
legitimately,
as
the
constituency
MSP,
as
you
have
a
legitimate
locus
in
this
matter,
there
is
no
conspiracy.
There
is
no
attempt
to
keep
matters
from
this
chamber.
That
is
not
my
way
and
it
hasn't
been
the
case
here.
C
H
Thank
you.
Given
the
well-publicized
difficulties,
the
challenges
facing
the
sick
kids
hospital
in
Edinburgh.
Can
the
cabinet
secretary
outline
what
support
has
been
given
to
nearby
hospitals
who
are
treating
patients
diverted
from
st.
John's
and
the
Cabinet
Secretary
has
previously
said
that
staff
leaving
their
posts
is,
you
know,
that's
contributed
towards
the
Dilys.
Can
the
can
the
cabinet
secretary
clarify
what
steps
are
being
taken
to
ensure
that
staff
well-being
is
prioritized
at
the
hospital
as
he
johnson?
Thank
you.
C
I'm
grateful
to
miss
Johnson
for
her
question.
A
number
of
steps
are
being
taken
in
terms
of
the
existing
Sick
Kids
Hospital
machines,
at
which
most
johnson
is
aware
of
in
terms
of
staff
and
the
services
continuing
there.
Whilst
we
ensure
that
the
new
site
is
safe
and
fit
for
purpose,
that
includes
additional
support
to
staff
in
the
sick,
kids,
as
well
as
other
matters
in
terms
of
the
building
and
facilities
and
so
on.
C
But
that
is
also
in
addition
to
the
answer
that
I
gave
to
miss
Constance
in
terms
of
looking
at
allö
thean
Wade
pediatric
service
that
maximizes
the
use
of
all
the
resources
that
bores
disposal,
and
indeed
it
was
when
I
visited
the
staff.
It's
that
kids
last
Monday,
that
I
had
the
opportunity
to
hear
from
one
of
their
senior
pediatric
consultants
about
how
he
wished
to
make
sure
that
st.
John's
capacity
and
resource
and
the
quality
of
service
there
was
maximized
in
terms
of
what
is
offered
to
staff
at
st.
C
I
Black
Thank
You
presiding
officer
cabinet
secretary,
said
in
January
this
year.
I
will
ensure
that
month
by
month,
we
make
the
progress
that
we
need
by
end
of
October.
So
what
lessons
have
you
learned
from
this
experience?
Given
that
as
new
Finley
outlined,
we
have
had
year
and
years
and
years
of
understaffing
problems
at
st.
John's,
which
have
not
been
successfully
resolved
and
you've
not
been
able
to
give
a
commitment
in
terms
of
time
today?
So
what
will
you
do
to
make
sure
that
this
will
be
fixed?
I
Your
opening
answer
to
the
question
seemed
to
me
totally
unsurprising
in
terms
of
numbers
of
staff
moving
on
Sheila.
We
have
to
expect
that
these
days
and
plan
the
additional
staff
capacity
to
give
the
hospital
there,
the
number
of
staff
that
hard
press
staff
existing
who
are
there
already
and
the
patient's
urgently
need
cabinet
secretary.
It's.
C
Miss
Burke
is
absolutely
right
that
part
of
what
you
do
in
planning
a
sustainable
rotor
is
fit
in
questions
that
you
can
anticipate,
such
as
staff
leaving,
but
also
holiday
entitlement
and
sickness
absence.
What
you
cannot
plan
for
is
long
term
sickness
absence
that
does
not
begin
that
way
or
long
term
maternity
leave.
That
does
not
begin
that
way
or
staff
moving
who
have
made
commitments
to
a
particular
service,
but
then
for
entirely
reasonable
and
they
are
entitled
to
do
this
reasons
decide
that
there
are
opportunities
elsewhere,
that
they
wish
to
take
up.
C
That
may
be
for
personal
reasons
or
domestic
circumstances,
but
that
is
why
what
I
have
asked
Lauren
to
do
and
continue
to
ask
them
to
do,
is
to
over
recruit
to
not
recruit
to
the
numbers
that
they
think
they
actually
need
for
a
24/7
service
but
to
over
recruit
if
they
have
the
numbers
coming
forward
in
a
recruitment
exercise.
So
that
is
the
the
approach
that
we
are
taking.
We
do
track
it
month
by
month,
and
we
will
continue
to
do
that
in
order
to
meet
the
commitment
that
I've
made.
E
E
J
Sps
developed
and
is
in
the
process
of
implementing
a
significant
program
of
improvement
with
the
HMI
CS
somatic
inspection,
finding
evidence
of
genuine
progress
at
the
SP
over
the
eight
last
18
to
24
months.
This
includes
the
appointment
of
experienced
and
talented
individuals
to
the
SP,
a
board
and
police
comms
leadership
team.
However,
of
course
I
recognized,
as
does
the
SP
a
that
the
improvement
journey
must
continue.
J
The
report
helpfully
highlights
key
areas
of
focus
going
forward,
a
number
of
which
ASPA
have
already
begun
to
dress,
address
the
Scottish
police
authority
and
pleased
Scotland,
publish
their
10-year
plan
on
policing
strategy
in
June
2017.
This
said
of
the
long-term
plan
to
build
a
sustainable,
modern
and
flexible
police
force
that
will
have
to
be
the
fresh
that
strategy
at
the
start
of
next
year.
This
will
take
account
of
the
strategic
policing
priorities
which
set
the
overarching
framework
for
policing
in
skaaland.
The
Scottish
Government
consultation
on
these
priorities
closes
on
Friday
James
Kelly.
Thank.
E
You
and
listening
to
the
cabinet
Secretary's
response,
I
wonder
if
he
was
reading
a
different
report
from
the
one
that
I
read,
because
the
verdict
was
Domon.
There
were
serious
flaws
in
government
government's,
namely
that
the
chair
and
a
number
of
board
members
were
acting
well
worth
their
core
non-executive
roles.
There
was
a
lack
of
leg
up
in
the
SPN
holding
the
Chief
Constable
to
account,
and
it
was
also
a
conflict
of
interest
at
the
core
of
the
SP.
A
so
can
I
ask
the
cabinet
secretary.
E
J
J
Whether
or
not
James
Kelly
read
the
report
and
field
because
he
paints
one
picture
of
it
now.
I
have
said
in
my
opening
remarks.
Of
course,
I
recognize
the
SP
a
has
some
improvement
to
make.
There's
simply
no
doubt
upon
reading
HMI
CS
is
a
report,
but
the
report
also
says-
and
you
know
I
could
read
reams.
Of
course.
J
Something
is
a
very
good
question
and
a
very
serious
question
to
ask
that's
why
my
immediate
response,
the
ICS
report
last
week,
I
said
that
we
have
agreed
jointly
with
SBA,
to
look
at
the
organizational
framework
to
look
at
the
governance
and
accountability
framework
and,
of
course,
in
terms
of
the
review.
The
time
skills
associated
to
that
review.
I
will
of
course,
keep
James
Kelly
and
other
members
of
the
Justice
Committee
energy
justice
sports
people
up
to
date
on
that
James
Kelly.
Thank.
E
You
so,
and
in
terms
of
setting
the
culture
and
tone
of
an
organizational
leadership
roles,
are
important
being
in
mind.
The
cabinet
secretaries
first
response:
does
he
accept
that
it's
it's
unacceptable
for
the
chair
and
a
number
of
board
members
they'd
be
acting
with
some
non
executive
roles
and
well
I,
said
an
immediate
timeline
for
reviewing
those
rules
to
ensure
that
the
chair
and
the
board
members
carry
out
or
what
appropriately.
J
J
Of
course,
the
SPE
board
does
operate
within
the
the
on
board
principles,
but
equally
I
think
every
one
of
us
and
fairness
would
recognize
that
the
SBA
has
has
a
very
unique
role
in
terms
of
both
scrutiny
and
terms
the
Chief
Constable,
absolutely,
and
also
of
course,
we
look
at
forensics
and
some
relation
the
delivery
of
some
policing
functions
as
well.
It's
also
worth
me
saying
as
well
that
well
I
take
very
seriously
what
James
Kelly
is
requesting,
and
we
well
do
that
review
there
as
a
fine
line.
J
Spe
was
created
in
essence
to
be
that
buffer
between,
of
course,
operational
policing
and
the
government.
That's
quite
right.
You
know
I'm
happy
to
work
jointly
with
the
SPE
to
do
to
do
that,
a
view,
but
I
certainly
won't
be
stepping
into
a
space
where
James
Kelly
will
be
accusing
me
of
interfering
on
the
one
hand
and
at
the
same
time
telling
me
to
get
myself
involved.
You'd
be
the
first
person
to
be
telling
me
that
I
would
be
interfering,
and
the
very
last
point
I
would
make.
J
Is
that
I
think
even
the
harshest
critics
of
ESP
would
recognize
the
tireless
hard
work
that
the
chair,
Susan
deacons,
somebody
well-known
I'm,
sure
to
James
Kelly,
has
done
in
this
base
and
I
think
SP
a
of
course
it
has
to
improve
well
improve,
but
isn't
remarkably
a
better
place
under
her
leadership.
Then
perhaps
previous.
K
Thank
You
presiding
officer,
cabinet
secretary,
a
large
part
of
the
controversy
surrounding
the
SP,
a
was
to
do
with
meetings
being
held
in
private,
with
no
chance
of
public
scrutiny.
So
can
the
cabinet
safe
to
tell
us
the
SPS
current
policy
on
holding
meetings
in
meetings
in
private
cameras,
tickity.
J
Well
again,
he's
right
to
make
that
point
that
previously
there
was
criticism
of
the
SPF
for
holding
the
meetings
in
private,
but
I
think
is
absolutely
right
to
see
that
Susan
deacon
under
her
leadership,
has
brought
a
much
more
open
and
transparent
as
well.
Openness
and
transparency
to
the
SP,
and
in
fact
that's
recognized
by
ICS-
is
port.
J
She
talks
about
the
fact
the
SP
is
made
a
number
of
changes
in
improvement
of
the
last
18
24
months
to
improve
the
overall
systems
of
governance,
including
a
revised
committee
structure
and
new
governance
framework
Standing
Orders
and
scheme
of
delegation
in
terms
of
his
specific
question:
I,
don't
the
SP.
That
would
be
a
matter
to
raise
directly
with
the
SP,
but
I
certainly
know
from
my
conversations
with
Susan
Deakin
that,
where
the
SP
a
can
be
open,
public
and
transparent,
that
they
of
course,
will
be.
But
the
understanding.
L
You
cabinet
second
you'll,
be
aware
of
the
passage
that
says.
Some
local
authorities
remain
concerned
that
national
policy
decisions
either
impact
locally,
are
not
the
subject
of
effective
engagement
and
the
consultation,
and
that
has
a
disconnect
between
local
scrutiny
in
the
SP
board.
Given
that
that
was
a
key
feature
of
the
maintaining
the
relationship,
our
local
engagement
on
policing
issues.
What
steps
will
he
take
to
resolve
that
very
important
matter?
Camera.
A
J
Well,
obviously,
the
chill
of
the
SP,
a
myself
and
Chief
Constable
and
our
regular
meetings
that
all
of
us
are
committed
to
to
that
local
accountability,
that
further
of
policing
and
the
fact
I'm
sure
he's
heard
the
chief
constable
himself
see
on
many
occasion
that
policing
is
only
back
in
ten
percent
of
the
people
and
therefore
having
people
involved
is
hugely
important.
I
see
John
Finnie,
pointing
to
the
report.
The
assuring
governance
is
highlighted
in
page
5
of
the
report.
J
Hmi
yes
inspector
chief
inspector
says
the
SP
has
improved
his
ability
and
engagement
with
local
authorities,
but
also
crucially-
and
this
is
his
point-
recognise
the
need
to
improve
its
overall
approach.
So
I
will
take
away.
Of
course,
what
the
report
says.
Some
of
the
recommendations
are
for
government.
Equally,
most
of
them
are
for
the
SPE
and,
of
course,
the
the
the
local
accountability
is
an
important
point
that
is
not
lost
on
any
of
the
tremor.
That
involved
in
policing
sure.
M
Most
of
the
recommendations
in
the
report
are,
as
a
cabinet
secretary
for
the
Scottish
police
authority
to
take
forward.
Well,
the
Scottish
government
commits
to
considering
its
rule
and
delivery,
including
providing
ongoing
support
to
the
authority,
address
these
issues
and
does
the
cabinet
shake
it's
important
to
recognize
findings
from
the
Justice
committees
post
legislative
scrutiny
report
which
found
that
were
equal
access
to
special
support
and
national
capacity
was
a
success
story
and
has
particularly
benefited
victims
of
crime
such
as
domestic
or
sexual
abuse.
M
J
J
We
have
also
said
very
publicly
in
the
record
that
the
investigations
under
police
Scotland
for
these
terrible
crimes
is
that
a
better
police
nationally
than
it
was
perhaps
in
previous
legacy
forces-
that's
important
point
but
she'll
Robinson,
but
none
of
that
takes
away
from
the
fact
that
this
report,
I
I,
don't
know,
makes
for
some
opening
reading
the
recommendations
we
will
be
taking
forward
absolutely.
Therefore,
government
government,
of
course
SP,
will
reflect
and
the
the
majority
of
the
findings
which
are
for
them
and
I
will
continue
to
keep
the
justice
committee
updated
on
our
progress.
J
N
You
very
much
presenting
officer
this
very
much
feels
like
going
talk,
the
how
more
than
six
years
into
the
existence
of
SP
a
and
almost
two
years
into
the
tenure
of
Susan
Deacon.
Can
there
still
be
quote
fundamental
conflicts
of
interest
and
so
much
confusion,
but
who
does
fought
and
where
the
bone
that
he's
lying.
J
Basically,
well,
some
of
that
and
I
think
you
know
the
MacArthur
would
have
to
accept.
This
SP
does
have
a
very
unique
function
as
an
organization
in
statute.
You
know
it
is,
of
course,
while
still
operating
and
I
stress
this
point
by
the
on
board
principles
that
exist.
That
does
have
a
very
unique
function
terms
Christian
in
the
police
and
the
Jew
rule
that
has
in
terms
of
supporting
policing
but
I,
would
say
to
the
MacArthur.
J
You
know:
I
wasn't
intently
his
contribution
on
the
police
and
fire
reform
debate
that
was
taking
place
in
this
chamber
just
a
few
weeks
ago.
Now
quote
from
him
direct,
so
I'm,
not
misquoting,
of
course,
and
he
said,
quote:
Susan
Deacon,
for
whom
I
have
the
utmost
respect,
do
considerable
credit
for
many
of
the
forms
that
she
has
introduced
since
she
took
over
as
the
chair
of
the
SP
a
n
quo,
so
I,
you
know
III
think
all
of
us
key
recognized
as
Lee
MacArthur
clearly
has
from
his
quote.
J
The
Susan,
Deacon
I,
think,
has
done
an
excellent
job,
been
driving
forward,
some
really
impressive
change
and
the
SP
a
his
writer
point
is
around
what
else
has
to
be
done.
God,
there's
very
clear
recommendations,
I
think
from
James
Kelly's
question
are
them
the
exact
non
exact
space
will
do
a
review
around
that
force,
other
governance
issues
and
now
I
promised
to
keep
him
and
the
rest
of
the
Justice
Committee
informed
of
that
progress
in.
O
Recurring
theme
identified
is
the
limited
ability
of
the
SP
a
board
to
recognize
issues
of
public
interest
and
hold
police
got
one
to
account
when
it
comes
to
community
policing?
How
will
the
Scottish
government
increase
the
effectiveness
of
the
SP
a
board
to
recognize
those
issues
of
community
policing
or
how
will
it
move
that
particular
issue
forward.
J
We
look
at
the
recommendations
carefully
and
clearly
the
local
element
is
hugely
important
to
all
of
us.
What
I
would
say
is
that
my
view
of
local
policing,
the
feedback
is
very
positive.
Now
it's
not
just
for
me.
I
was
reading
with
interests
elected
into
the
Guinea
Telegraph
on
Monday,
the
12th
of
August
from
councillor
David,
Wilson
who's,
a
conservative
journalist.
J
In
this
case,
an
angry
Nick,
so
I
think
building
making
positive
progress
in
relation
to
policing
at
a
local
level,
but
that's
not
to
take
away
from
what
I
see
yes,
I
said,
and
what
Garland
house
and
others
have
said
are
in
local
elements,
will
take
forward
those
recommendations
and
again
I
will
keep
members
who
have
an
interest
in
this
updated
on
our
progress.
Thank.
A
You
very
much
colleagues
that
concludes
topical
questions.
We're
going
to
turn
to
our
next
item
of
business,
which
is
a
public
audit
and
post
legislative
scrutiny.
Committee
debate
on
motion,
191
600
in
the
name
of
Jenny
Mara
on
post
legislative
scrutiny,
control
of
dog
Scotland
Act
2010
I
would
encourage
all
members
who
wish
to
contribute
to
this
debate
to
press
their
progressed.
History,
buttons
and
I
call
on
Jenny
Mara
to
speak
to
and
remove
the
motion.
P
This
afternoon
in
May
2018,
this
chamber
debated
a
motion
by
Alec
Neil
MSP,
a
member
of
the
committee
calling
for
post
legislative
scrutiny
of
the
2010
act
after
hearing
stories
from
other
members
of
the
committee
of
out-of-control
and
dangerous
dogs
throughout
Scotland.
The
committee
unanimously
agreed
that
it
was.
