National Health Service (Primary Medical Services Section 17C Agreements) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2004 (SSI 2004/217)
We wrote to the Executive about the regulations. Members will see from their papers that we have received a reply that indicates why the Executive took the line that it did. The points that we made related partly to assessment panels. The legal advisers think that there remains a discrepancy in the approach to the drafting of regulation 11 of the original regulations. If members have no further points to make, I suggest that we pass the matter on to the lead committee and the Parliament, together with the response that we received.
I agree that we should do that. We should also observe in passing that
I could not have put that better myself.
No, we could not.
I agree with that.
We are agreed. We will include that in what we pass on to the lead committee and the Parliament.
Framework Guidance on Preparing a National Park Plan (draft) (SE/2004/98)
Members will recall that we wrote to the Executive, saying that the draft guidance should have had some indication on it that it was a draft. The Executive has taken that point on board. Are there any other comments?
As we have received a positive response from the Executive, I suggest that we would want to build on that. Perhaps we could raise the matter in one of our informal meetings with the Executive so as to ensure that all departments will accept the same spirit and apply the same practice.
We could do that at an informal meeting, or by informal letter.
I do not think that it would be worth writing again.
Okay. Let us do as Murray Tosh suggests. We will also pass the Executive's response on to the lead committee and the Parliament. Is that agreed?
