Chamber and committees

Yes.

Those would most likely be covered through Dave Torrance’s suggestions.

Thank you. My final question was going to be about the escalation of violent behaviour and potential interventions, but you have adeptly just answered that.

Thank you.

Thank you, minister. It would be useful if that data on staff retention and recruitment, broken down by local authority, could be shared. I appreciate the measures that you are seeking to deploy.

Thanks for that. It would be useful if you could share with the committee the data that you hold on that, ideally broken down by local authority, if that is possible.

Minister, are you confident that local authorities have both the facilities and the staffing resources to provide that enhanced care package?

Thank you. You have also answered my other question on updating definitions, which is helpful.

The minister mentioned educational attainment. Is she comfortable with current educational attendance?

To recap, there will be a consultation on a bill about the Promise by the end of 2024, with the bill to be introduced in 2025. Please clarify whether that is the case. If that is the case, what will the key themes of the consultation on that bill be?

We should find out—perhaps from COSLA—how trading standards enforces the ban on under-18s accessing vapes and whether that has been successful. We should also ask about illegal sales of vapes.

I should mention that I am the convener of the cross-party group on the armed forces and veterans community.
