Chamber and committees

I will bring in Pauline McNeill and Sharon Dowey, and then we will have to move on.

We will quickly move on to questions from Sharon Dowey. I am sorry to rush you, Sharon.

Thank you for that. We will move swiftly on to questions on part 2, on the embedding of trauma-informed practice. I ask members to direct questions to one witness, or two at the most.

I bring the session to a close. I thank our panel for their contributions this morning. That completes this agenda item, and I suspend the meeting very briefly, to allow our witnesses to leave.

That concludes our business in public.

The committee’s next meeting will be on 25 October, when we will continue with evidence taking on the Victims, Witnesses, and Justice Reform (Scotland) Bill. We will hear from organisations representing the legal profession and a former Victims’ Commissioner for England and Wales. The session will again focus on parts 1 to 3 of the bill, and we will come back to the views of the legal profession and others on parts 4 to 6 later in the year.

In the spirit of managing our session, Pauline, I ask you to come back in later with questions about special measures, so that we can focus on the victims and witnesses commissioner just now.

Finally, I call Fulton MacGregor, after which we will move to part 3 of the bill.

Okay—thank you.

Thank you for that. I open it up to members.

Thank you for that. Russell Findlay, do you want to come in with a final question?
