To ask the Scottish Executive how many (a) nurses and (b) other NHS workers have sustained an injury while lifting patients in each of the last five years, broken down by NHS board.
Answer
The Scottish Government does not hold this information centrally and this is a matter for individual employers. The Scottish Government has supported NHS boards in developing their Occupational Health services including the roll out of the OHSxtra model that provides enhanced physiotherapy services for staff with musculo-skeletal problems. The minimum standard for the management of manual handling is set out in the Managing Health at Work Policy guideline and all boards have manual handling training programs. These training programs will include safe handling techniques, risk assessment and the use of lifting equipment.

Answer
All Scottish Government funding for the development of sport in Scotland is routed through sportscotland. The information requested on funding is not held centrally by the Scottish Government. I have therefore asked the chief executive of sportscotland to write to the member providing the detailed operational information requested.

To ask the Scottish Executive what consideration it has given to the restrictions on new coal power stations in other European countries, including Denmark where the Danish Government owns 75% of DONG energy, which is currently involved in the proposal for a new coal-fired power station at Hunterston.
Answer
All Member states are bound by the same EU Directives such as EU Directive 2009/31/EC on the Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide and the EU Large Combustion Plant Directive (2001/80/EC) as well as the EU Emissions Trading Scheme. We will bear the wider EU position in mind as we consider with the UK Government the responses to their most recent consultation on Carbon Capture and Storage and the development of our section 36 thermal guidance.
