Yes. Sorry—I did not see the member earlier.

What is critical is that Brian Leishman has been talking to the unions and is representing the area. He wants to make sure that the oil refinery does not go off a cliff edge next year, which is what is currently planned, and that is about getting the two Governments to work together and look at what the opportunities are.

With the north-east and Moray, there is an opportunity to be proactive. I totally disagree with Murdo Fraser on the points that he made.

Briefly.

I am not the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as the member knows.

The point that I had been about to make was that, over the past decade, our local authorities have experienced massive cuts, and Falkirk Council is itself worried about the flood prevention plan.

Let us look at the skills hub and Forth Valley College. The committee and the Just Transition Commission have recommended that action be taken now. Homes and businesses in Falkirk need that investment. Young people who are currently at school could have jobs in local supply chains under the 10-year plan. Action needs to be taken now so that that is delivered.

I also want to thank the committee for highlighting the importance of getting women involved in jobs and training in the just transition and the renewables industry. That is key, but we need action now.

What the committee said about using public procurement is also important. That we should develop local supply chains seems like a no-brainer. That way, we will ensure that jobs and skills do not simply stay in Scotland but will be created in Scotland.

Therefore, there are opportunities, but there are also challenges—

To ask the First Minister, in the light of the disruption that will arise from the closure of the Princess Alexandra eye pavilion for the next six months, what financial support the Scottish Government has committed to providing to NHS Lothian, to ensure that no patient loses out now or in the future.

I welcome the comment about the need for more resources in planning. We clearly need more local authority planners as well as the exchange of best practice. That has to be an urgent priority, because not enough people are becoming planners through education and planners are not being retained by local authorities.

No, thank you.

We will have oil and gas in the North Sea for decades, but we know that it is a declining resource, so it is about how we use that resource most effectively. It is about how we ensure that investments will still be there and that the companies there are still able to operate and, at the same time, transition to renewables.

We have not seen the investment that we really need. The fact that the ScotWind fund has been raided to fill the Scottish Government’s budget hole means that we will not see investment in supply chains in the sector. That is a problem that the Scottish Government has created.

There have been long delays to the Scottish National Party’s strategies, including the energy strategy in the just transition plan, the regional just transition plan and the climate change update. Those delays are having a negative economic impact because they create uncertainty and mean that investors do not have confidence in businesses. They make communities more and more worried.

No, thank you.

It will take political will, investment and immediate action to make those opportunities a reality. The SNP has not gone far enough or used its powers sufficiently and, when they were in government, the Tories did not even begin to step up to the challenges in Grangemouth and the North Sea that are now faced by the communities, the workers and the businesses. Support is needed now. It is beginning to come, but we need more.

Scottish Labour is committed to working with the trade unions and industry to deliver a truly just transition for workers in Grangemouth, the north-east and Moray—

—and right across Scotland. The alternative option is continued failure, but the people of Scotland deserve more, and Scottish Labour will not let that happen.

I, too, thank the cabinet secretary for the advance sight of his statement, and for the ability to meet senior staff and colleagues and members of keep Edinburgh eye pavilion—KEEP—at the eye pavilion this morning.

Let us be clear that, although the eye pavilion has been deemed not fit for purpose for a decade, this week’s announcement will still have been a huge shock to patients and deeply worrying to staff.

Can the cabinet secretary give us a guarantee today that the eye pavilion will reopen in six months and that its closure will be an interim measure, so that people do not have to worry about access to the vital services that will protect and save their sight when they need it? Will he also commit to updating Parliament in the coming months and in six months’ time, so that we are kept informed and can keep our constituents informed?

Will he also agree in principle on the importance of the need for a new eye pavilion? Notwithstanding the challenges that he has identified and the importance of the work on prevention, on which I totally agree, patients and staff urgently need and deserve a new facility that is safe and modern and meets everyone’s needs, whether it is—
