With regard to the substance of the petition’s calls for an agency, are you of the view that Sandesh Gulhane has just expressed, which is that we could close the petition but look at the issues that brought the petitioners to lodge it?

To avoid confusion, before we move on to the next petition, we will take a decision on this one. There are too many letters and numbers, and we will all get confused otherwise.
On PE1845, which calls for an agency to advocate for the healthcare needs of rural Scotland, can I have a show of hands of members who want to close the petition with the proviso that we look into doing a wider review, which is something that seems worth while?
I see that a majority of members are in favour of closing PE1845 but with the proviso that we include the issues in a wider piece of work that we might do.

The final petition that we are considering today is PE1924, which calls for the completion of an emergency in-depth review of women’s health services in Caithness and Sutherland. I know that Tess White and Gillian Mackay want to comment on the petition.

Those were all really good points. Gillian Mackay has proposed that we keep the petition open. Are we agreed?
Members indicated agreement.

Subordinate Legislation

The second instrument reflects a routine annual rise in rates, increasing the value of the personal expenses allowance by 5.4 per cent, in line with average earnings.
No motion to annul has been lodged. As members have no comments, I propose that the committee make no recommendation in relation to the negative instrument. Are we agreed?
Members indicated agreement.

Protocol-wise, either we keep the petition open or we close it. If we keep it open, we have to go forward on the basis of what the petition asks for. Closing it would not mean that we would forget everything that was in the petition. We can take the learning and evidence from the petition as part of a wider inquiry and roll it into that work, so we would not be dismissing it or the things that people have said about it.

That is a really good point. As you say, there are a couple of reviews going on in the health board area.
Does Gillian Mackay want to come in on the petition?
