To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the Minister for Health and Community Care's commitment made in the Parliament on 12 September 2002 to review after two years the Greater Glasgow NHS Board's accident and emergency proposals prior to delivery, when the minister will make a statement on this matter.
Answer
I am advised by NHS Greater Glasgow that the NHS Board will consider a report on the review of the assumptions that underpinned the decision on A&E services at the November 2004 Board meeting. I expect to receive a report of the Board’s conclusions and will need to consider it very carefully before making any statement.

To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will ensure that classics continue to be taught in schools.
Answer
In Scotland the curriculum is not statutory and responsibility for decisions on curriculum delivery rests with local authorities and headteachers. The Scottish Executive Education Department offers guidance and direction on the curriculum and the outcomes of education. Local authorities must be free to meet these outcomes in a way which best meets local needs in line with available resources. Decisions on whether to run any course depend on pupil uptake, timetable restrictions and staffing and other resources.
