Thank you, Louise. I think that we understand and appreciate that that issue of relationships is important.
I thank everyone for their comments on that subject, which have been insightful and informative. We will move on to look at the supply of drugs and links with serious organised crime, starting with a question from Russell Findlay.

Thank you for that, Peter.
The next theme is policing and prosecution. We will look at the issues around decision making for prosecution and the response to the Scottish Drug Deaths Taskforce recommendations that were made earlier this year around zero tolerance and other issues.

I will bring you in briefly, Natalie, then I will move the discussion on. Before we round the session off at 12.30, I want to cover drugs in prisons and naloxone.

I am conscious of time so I will move the session on. It has been a very helpful discussion. We will now look at issues to do with drugs in prisons, which a number of members want to focus on. I will come back to Pauline McNeill, who is interested in picking up on this, then I will bring in Rona Mackay.
