To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-16453 by Nicola Sturgeon on 30 September 2008, when detailed discussions between the relevant NHS boards and their PFI providers regarding the costs of removing car park charges from those three car parks provided through PFI contracts will be completed.
Answer
No end date has been set by which detailed discussions between NHS boards and their PFI providers are to be concluded. However, NHS boards have been asked to report by 30 November on the progress made on their discussions. Once I have considered these reports I will consider what further action to take.

To ask the Scottish Executive what provision has been made to train rehabilitation officers who work with sensory-impaired people.
Answer
Between 2004-08, the Scottish Government provided £300,000 to Guide Dogs for the Blind to support training. The Scottish Government also worked alongside Guide Dogs for the Blind, the Scottish Social Service Council and groups representing those with a sensory impairment, to develop National Occupational Standards for community care staff working with people with a sensory impairment. The standards include levels of competency around rehabilitation work.
The Scottish Government is also providing £38,000 this year to Deafblind Scotland to support training.
In addition, the Scottish Government is providing record levels of funding to local government, the majority of which is provided by means of a block grant. Local government, as part of our shared commitment to developing strong public services, invests significantly in the development of the social services workforce as a whole.

To ask the Scottish Executive what funding will be made available to support people diagnosed with cardiomyopathy through the screening programme for young athletes.
Answer
The two-year pilot programme itself will cost £200,000. Given the very small number of positive cases the programme is likely to identify, we would expect support for these athletes to be provided by existing NHSScotland services.
