To ask the Scottish Government, regarding the review of measles preparedness in the North East, whether the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Care or the Minister for Mental Wellbeing, Public Health, Sport, Alcohol and Drugs will convene a meeting with Public Health Scotland, NHS Grampian, NHS Tayside and relevant local authorities and subsequently publish an update setting out agreed actions, responsible organisations and timescales.


Answer

There are currently no plans to convene a meeting on measles preparedness.
