Chamber and committees

The next item of business is a statement by Neil Gray on the Scottish hospitals inquiry’s report on the Royal hospital for children and young people and the department of clinical neurosciences in Edinburgh. As the cabinet secretary will take questions at the end of his statement, there should be no interruptions or interventions.

The next item of business is a debate on motion S6M-16777, in the name of Neil Gray, on the adoption of innovation in health and social care.

I may come to regret saying this, but Brian Whittle is absolutely right—

That is not the question that is in the Business Bulletin, Mr Ruskell.

That concludes portfolio questions. Before we move to the next item, there will be a brief pause to allow front benches to change.

Question 3 is from Graham Simpson, who joins us remotely.

Good afternoon. The next item of business is portfolio questions on social justice. I remind members who wish to ask a supplementary question to press their request-to-speak buttons during the relevant question.

Question 6 was not lodged.

I call Rachael Hamilton for a brief supplementary question.

Question 8 was not lodged, so that concludes questions on rural affairs.

There will be a brief pause before we move to the next portfolio, to allow members on the front benches to change.
