To ask the Scottish Executive what services at the Vale of Leven Hospital were previously provided in primary healthcare settings.
Answer
The Sandyford hub sexual health service at the Vale of Leven Hospital, which provides sexual health and family planning services, replaced the Dumbarton family planning and well woman clinic earlier this year. The GP out-of-hours services have been provided from the Vale site since 2004. There are no other primary care services which were previously provided in primary healthcare settings.

To ask the Scottish Executive how many midwives graduated in (a) 2007-08 and (b) 2008-09 and whether all obtained positions as midwives.
Answer
The number of midwives who graduated from Scottish higher education institutions in 2007-09 was 161 and in 2008-09 was 143.
The Scottish Government does not hold statistics on the number of newly qualified midwives who gain employment. However, only 14 newly qualified nurses and midwives required access the one year job guarantee scheme in 2007-08 and 20 accessed the scheme in 2008-09.
The Scottish Government continues to fund the national one year job guarantee scheme, which is intended to ensure that every newly qualified midwife receives the offer of a job either through their own means or with assistance. It is designed to ensure that all newly qualified midwives have the opportunity to build on the clinical experience gained during their pre-registration programme.

To ask the Scottish Executive how many pregnant women have been provided with free fruit since May 2007.
Answer
I refer the member to the answer to question S3W-28892 on 25 November 2009, which refers to the broadening out of our commitment to support pregnant women. The aim of the broader commitment is to allow health boards to put in place strategic measures to reach a much wider audience of women, and then deliver those through for example: interventions by health professionals related to nutrition, including breastfeeding and weaning; maternity units achieving Baby Friendly Initiative status, ensuring that everyone who is entitled to claim for Healthy Start vouchers which can be exchanged for fruit, vegetables, fresh milk or infant formula at registered retailers do so, and ensuring that all sectors with a contribution to make in this area, e.g. community groups, pre school and voluntary sector are fully involved.

To ask the Scottish Executive how much is being spent on providing services for carers.
Answer
Support to local carers'' services is a matter for local authorities and health boards to determine on the basis of their local priorities.
Local authorities'' net revenue expenditure on support for carers, including respite care, in 2007-08 (latest figures available) was £117.034 million, compared with £100 million in 2006-07.
The Scottish Government has provided area health boards and the Scottish Ambulance Service with £9 million between 2008-11 to develop and implement Carer Information Strategies. We have provided local authorities with over £4 million as part of the local government settlement to provide an extra 10,000 respite weeks. We have provided over £400,000 to fund three Young Carer Festivals, which provide young carers from all over Scotland with a break from caring. We are funding three young carer initiatives this year through a £200,000 grant to a national carer organisation. We have funded other initiatives including three carer training pilots. The Scottish Government supports national carers organisations through grants made under section 10 of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968. Over the next three years we are committed to awards totalling nearly £100,000 to five organisations.

To ask the Scottish Executive how it is meeting the SNP manifesto commitment to provide pregnant women with free fruit.
Answer
In June 2008, we published
Healthy Eating Active Living: An action plan to improve diet, increase physical activity and tackle obesity. This included a commitment to broaden out the pledge to provide free fruit to pregnant women and pre-school children using the model of market-led pregnancy cards from the major supermarkets, to encompass maternal and infant nutrition generally and not limited to specific models.
In September 2008, I announced support of £19 million of new money available to NHS health boards over the period 2008-11 to improve the nutrition of women of childbearing age, pregnant women and children under five in disadvantaged areas. The broad criteria within which NHS boards have been asked to work include increasing uptake of the healthy start scheme, to ensure that everyone who is eligible to claim vouchers to exchange for fresh fruit, vegetables, milk and infant formula does so; supporting work on increasing breastfeeding rates and investing in training for health professionals. Years one and two of that funding have already been allocated to NHS boards. Details of the allocation were outlined in CEL 36 (2008) Nutrition of women of childbearing age, pregnant women and children under five in disadvantaged areas, which can be found at:
