To ask the Scottish Executive whether and how Yorkhill NHS Trust will continue as a principal academic centre of maternal and child health if it is transferred to a new site at the Southern General Hospital in Glasgow.
Answer
Greater Glasgow Health Board currently has under way two reviews involving full public consultation exercises, one on its proposals to modernise acute hospital services across the city, the other specifically about the future role of the Yorkhill NHS Trust. The kind of questions which the member has asked about proposals for the future delivery of services currently provided by Yorkhill are at the heart of the review and consultation process and I shall ask the board specifically to take her questions into account. But it is far too early to say what conclusions will be reached. The board hopes to be in a position to draw up a firm set of proposals by December. Whatever the outcome of the reviews, the Scottish Executive will want to ensure that any proposals will form part of a robust framework of integrated children's services across Scotland.

To ask the Scottish Executive what level of local community involvement and local volunteers Yorkhill NHS Trust currently engages.
Answer
The Executive fully recognises the important role that the local community and local volunteers play in supporting NHS services and in December published guidance to assist Trusts in implementing volunteering policies.
Yorkhill NHS Trust currently enjoys considerable support from the local community and local volunteers, which is to be commended. Detailed information about local involvement in its activities is available from the Trust.

To ask the Scottish Executive whether the Greater Glasgow Health Board is satisfied that it has completed delivery of the Acute Services Review leaflet to every household in the board's area.
Answer
This is a matter for Greater Glasgow Health Board.
I have, however, made it clear that before taking decisions affecting local communities, it is essential that those providing the services enter into full and meaningful consultation involving all stakeholders.
