COVID-19 Recovery Committee

Road to Recovery Inquiry

Meeting date: 10 November 2022

Siobhian Brown

I thank the witnesses for their evidence and for giving us their time. If the witnesses would like to raise any further evidence with the committee, they can do so in writing—the clerks will be happy to liaise on how to do that.

We intend to continue taking evidence in our inquiry in November, before we hear from the Scottish Government at our meeting on 8 December. The committee’s next meeting will be on 17 November, when we will continue our inquiry by looking in more detail at early retirement as a driver of economic inactivity.

That concludes the public part of our meeting.

11:23 Meeting continued in private until 11:35.

I know that Professor McCartney wants to come in, but could I ask a quick question? Do you know why the figures are so much higher in Scotland than the rest of the UK?

Thank you. Professor Sheikh, I know that you are leading a long-term study on long Covid. Before I move on to Mr Fairlie, what are you hoping to learn from it?

Thank you. That concludes evidence taking from our first panel on the impact of the pandemic on the Scottish labour market.

I thank the witnesses for their evidence and their time this morning. If they would like to raise any further evidence with the committee, they can do so in writing; the clerks will be happy to liaise with them on how to do that.

I suspend the meeting briefly to allow a changeover of witnesses.
