To ask the Scottish Executive what discussions it has had with COSLA or other bodies following Audit Scotland’s 2008 recommendation that the Scottish Government and local authorities should work together to agree a national eligibility framework that defines risks and priority levels to ensure transparency in access to care for older people.
Answer
We have reached agreement with COSLA that the £40 million in additional funding from 1 April will be spent on delivering a package of measures to stabilise the free personal and nursing care policy in the immediate term. Significant progress has been made in developing with COSLA and key stakeholders a consistent eligibility framework to be operated by all councils for access to adult social care services and which will be applied across Scotland. We will be in a position to formally consult on these proposals very shortly.

To ask the Scottish Executive what the in-patient mental health capacity was of the planned secure units at Stobhill and Dykebar hospitals.
Answer
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde have confirmed that there were 44 medium secure and 30 low secure beds planned for the original Stobhill Local Forensic Psychiatric Unit (for Glasgow residents). At the same time, 30 beds on the Leverndale site were due to close following their migration into the new development of the Stobhill forensic unit. A mixture of 30 medium/low secure beds were originally planned for the Dykebar unit (for West of Scotland residents with the exception of Glasgow).

To ask the Scottish Executive where the in-patient mental health capacity that was to be provided by the secure unit at Dykebar Hospital has been accommodated.
Answer
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde have confirmed that by retaining the low secure beds on the Leverndale site, the 30 planned beds for Dykebar were provided as part of a reconfigured 74-bed medium secure bed unit at Stobhill. The net effect is to leave the overall capacity for medium and low secure beds unchanged at 104 beds.

To ask the Scottish Executive whether the planned in-patient mental health capacity at Gartnavel Royal Hospital has been affected by the loss of capacity at the planned secure unit at Dykebar Hospital and, if so, how this has altered bed numbers.
Answer
No forensic capacity was ever provided or planned for Gartnavel Hospital so these changes have no impact on the Gartnavel Hospital.
