Answer
The Executive is committedto tackling domestic abuse in all its forms and works with the National Groupto Address Violence Against Women in progressing this agenda, includingconsideration of ways in which to encourage and develop improved serviceprovision. While the focus of this work is on women who experience domesticabuse, as outlined in the National Strategy to Address Domestic Abuse inScotland, we are looking into issues around domestic abuse and same sexrelationships and the Scottish Executive has provided funding to LGBT YouthScotland to help equip mainstream organisations provide services to lesbian,gay, bisexual and transgender people experiencing abuse usually from a same sexpartner.

To ask the Scottish Executive how the value of public procurement by Scottish public sector organisations and its impact on the economy is measured.
Answer
The McClelland Review of publicprocurement, which reported in March 2006, estimated the value of procurement bydevolved bodies in Scotland as being in the region of £8 billion per annum. The ScottishExecutive does not measure the impact on the economy of contracts awarded by Scottishpublic sector organisations. As part of its response to the McClelland Review, the Executive is considering ways of gathering consistent data from across the widerpublic sector and has established an advisory group, consisting mainly of businessrepresentatives, to advise on the impact on suppliers of the procurement reformagenda.
