Chamber and committees

Let us go to Kirsty Garrett and find out what the situation is in Glasgow.

This will be the final question before we move on to the next panel.

I will let in Cathie Cowan. We must then move on.

Thank you. With that, we move on to agenda item 5, which is the formal debate on the Health and Care (Staffing) (Scotland) Act 2019 Amendment Regulations 2023, ?on which we have just heard evidence. I remind members that they should not put questions to the minister during the formal debate and that officials may not speak in the formal debate. I invite members to contribute.

We have run out of time; we could have spoken to you for a lot longer. If there is anything that you wanted to draw to our attention that you feel got missed, we are happy to receive information in writing. Thank you for your evidence.

I suspend the meeting briefly to allow for a changeover of witnesses.

Would members like the minister to cover anything else in her summing up?

Members: No.

I will go to Ralph Roberts then Cathie Cowan. I will not be able to go back to Paul O’Kane for a supplementary question, I am afraid. I apologise for that, but we have another panel waiting to come in, so I cannot let this session overrun.

We will go to Ralph Roberts and then we will have to move on. We need to dig into a number of themes, including staffing, and I am conscious that we have only half an hour left with the panel.

Emma Harper has questions on progress under the recovery plan. I know that we have mentioned it, but if you could ask your question, Emma, we can then move on.

Thank you. I ask the next witness to be brief, please.
