Petition


Mental Health Services (PE1611)

The third item on our agenda is a first look at petition PE1611, on mental health services in Scotland. I ask members for their comments on the petition.

We could perhaps feed the petition in to the on-going work of the targets review.

We could pass it on to the review, given that the petition calls for a reduction in the target.

If the committee is content, the review group could consider that in the round with everything else that it is looking at.

Are you talking about the review that is chaired by Sir Harry Burns?

Yes.

The Convener

Some of the issues that the petition raises were raised in today’s evidence, so we can incorporate them into our report, as well.

Is it agreed that we will take those actions and leave the petition sitting for the moment?

Members indicated agreement.
