To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-37929 by John Swinney on 16 December 2010, what the status of the 2011 National Planning Framework Monitoring Report will be in project decision-making and development plan preparation.
Answer
The purpose of the 2011 National Planning Framework Monitoring Report is to keep the National Planning Framework under review, so the weight attached to it in decision-making and development plans will be for the decision maker. The second National Planning Framework remains the Scottish Government''s spatial plan for Scotland and policy until it is replaced.

Answer
The number of hospital admissions for patients aged under 16 with a diagnosis of intentional self-harm for the year 2009-10 was 438. Caution is advised when interpreting these figures as the procedures in place for admitting cases of intentional self-harm may vary between NHS board areas.

This information is based on data from the national Scottish Morbidity Record Scheme 01 (SMR01), which records all inpatient and day case discharges from non-obstetric and non-psychiatric specialties in NHS hospitals in Scotland.

To ask the Scottish Executive what the (a) status and (b) role of the Draft Electricity Generation Policy Statement 2010 will be in (i) decisions on planning applications, (ii) the preparation of development plans, (iii) decisions on applications under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 and (iv) marine planning.
Answer
Statements of Government policy can be expected to inform the development of policies in development plans and marine plans. The decision maker may have regard to a Draft Statement of Government policy when considering a planning or Electricity Act application, although the weight given to it would be a matter for the decision maker to determine when reaching a decision on that application.
