Thank you, Ms Hamilton. It is generally accepted that as much notice as possible should be given to members, although I appreciate that there will be occasions when that is more difficult than it is on others. I am not aware of the circumstances to which you have referred, Ms Hamilton, but we will look into them. If a more detailed response is required, we will come back to you.
I call the minister.

I welcome the additional funding, which was secured through the budget partnership and negotiations with the Scottish Liberal Democrats. However, the minister will be aware that the debate on my Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill has shone a light on gaps in access to palliative care. What assurances can she give that, through the palliative care strategy and additional funding, some of those access issues can be addressed?

The next item of business is a statement by Neil Gray on implementing the medication assisted treatment standards. The cabinet secretary will take questions at the end of his statement, so there should be no interruptions or interventions.
