To ask the Scottish Executive what its policy is on the care and treatment of young people with mental health problems in secure accommodation.
Answer
Secure Units are required to assess the needs of young people in their care and to develop and deliver care plans that address their range of needs. The quality and delivery of care plans will be monitored through the regular inspections completed by Social Work Services Inspectorate and, in due course, the Care Commission.Specialist adolescent psychological services are provided at Rossie, St Mary's Kenmure and Kerelaw. The Elms and Howdenhall/St Katherine's can also access local mental health services, when required.

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-28226 by Mr Andy Kerr on 9 September 2002, what evidence it has to support the statement that, in comparison with private finance initiative contracts, "broadly equivalent costs are incurred in relation to professional fees for the preparation, construction and operation of conventionally funded projects", giving specific examples of such projects where this is the case.
Answer
The statement referred to relates to the costs of monitoring contracts. All contracts have to be monitored whether they are PPP contracts or conventional contracts. There are sound reasons for doing this, not least to ensure propriety and value for money. There is a cost attached to this. It is not possible to provide specific examples as contract monitoring costs are not separately identified in conventional contracts.
