In addition, Lothian Health will receive £3 million over a three-year period to lead the demonstration project

Launched late last year, the project aims to help young people develop a positive attitude to sexual matters and ultimately to reduce the rates of unplanned teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. The Health Education Board for Scotland also takes initiatives in relation to sexual health, funded from its general allocation.

To ask the Scottish Executive whether it has held any discussions with, or corresponded with, Lanarkshire Health Board or Lanarkshire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust in relation to adverse press reports about the level of service provision and accommodation at Hairmyres Hospital, East Kilbride.
Answer
Yes. I received a full report from the Chief Executive of Lanarkshire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust at the time the said articles first appeared, and my officials continue to closely monitor the position and liaise with the trust.Where there are matters that still require attention, the trust is urgently addressing them with its contractors. In many cases, however, the press articles have been exaggerated, inaccurate or refer to matters that were resolved by the trust several weeks before they were reported in the press. The people in Lanarkshire are now benefiting from an excellent new NHS hospital at Hairmyres that will serve them well into the 21st century.

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-15671 by Sarah Boyack on 19 June 2001, whether the statement that the police would initiate a road closure means that it is the police who are responsible for taking the decision to close a section of motorway or trunk road due to a road traffic accident and, if not, who is responsible.
Answer
The police, who are normally first at the scene of a road traffic accident, have the power to close a section of motorway or trunk road if they deem there to be a hazard to other road users. They also have a duty to do so in certain circumstances to protect life and property.
