Chamber and committees

Ailsa Wyllie mentioned that we need strong role models. How do we ensure that we get strong role models coming forward, whether those are athletes, coaches or anyone else who is involved with female sport?

Can I come back in on that point?

Okay. Does anybody else wants to come in on what Maureen McGonigle said about diversity and making sure that it goes wider? What are organisations doing about targets, action plans and ensuring that we have diversity? Kim Atkinson, you are nodding.

How does it work with the women who are at the facility in England seeing their family and friends?

Do we know whether coaches are being trained to understand how cycles or hormones impact performance? How are we helping young women and girls to understand the changes in their performance and why they happen? I saw Baz Moffat shaking her head there—perhaps Baz would like to come in.

In your submission, you mention your work with LGBT young people. Can you tell us more about that?

NHS Orkney’s submission mentions “IT system frailty”. Laura Skaife-Knight, can you expand on that? Does that apply only to your area or does it apply nationwide, too?

Michael, my question is on the theme of the nurse injectors that you have talked about. What do they do and how beneficial is it? Are there other areas that you are interested in making sure stay in the islands so that people do not have to travel? If so, will you tell us about them and what support you might need in that respect?

I was interested to hear Gordon Jamieson’s positive comments about the health board working with the local housing partnership to prioritise housing for staff. I would like to know whether Michael Dickson and Laura Skaife-Knight’s boards also have positive relationships with local housing providers. I am a housing professional, so I am really interested in that.

My question is about preventative guidance for women and girls. Stress urinary incontinence is a huge issue. When I had my children, I was lucky enough to be given immediate guidance about pelvic floor exercises, what to do after having a baby and so on. Do we need to standardise the information that is given to women and girls? Should it start in schools and be disseminated, to make sure that everyone knows what to do?
