Social Care
Meeting date: 22 February 2022

Good morning to the witnesses; it is good to see you here today. It is nice to hear that some positives have come out of the pandemic; it has shone a light on the importance of social care and all the things that we need to look at in relation to the social care service in Scotland.
My questions are about leadership. Audit Scotland has highlighted that we also have an issue with retaining leaders in the social care sector. What can we do to help with that? What are the reasons behind it? We have talked about other sections of the social care service, but what can we do for our leaders and how can we make the service sustainable in the long term for them? That question goes to Annie Gunner Logan, because she touched on that earlier.

I am sorry—thank you for your patience. How will the new deal for tenants target action on child poverty?

Given what you said about a lack of supply of materials and a labour shortage, do you think that Brexit has influenced and dented the Scottish Government’s house-building programme?

Good morning to both ministers, and thank you for your answers so far, which have been really helpful.
As a housing professional, I know that the Scottish Government has had a massive house-building programme for a number of years, but why is it so important at present with regard to child poverty? What are you doing to increase supply of housing at the present time?

Is enough investment in place to enable holistic family support to be available throughout Scotland?

What steps has the Scottish Government taken to ensure that all children and young people can eat well, have a healthy weight, and be physically active?

In a similar vein, what steps is the Scottish Government taking to ensure that services are organised around family or the individual rather than being set up to address single issues?

Thank you, minister, I absolutely do feel that. A range of new supports are available to people who are applying for disability benefits, including short-term assistance and the advocacy service. What are the costs of those? Are they good use of resources from the Scottish Government budget?

Why have you chosen the same council areas for the pilot of CDP and what lessons have been learned from the roll-out of CDP?
