There are a very wide range of actions being undertaken by the Scottish Government and partners to reduce child poverty. Our broad approach is set out in the three inter-linked policy frameworks Achieving Our Potential, Early Years Framework, and Equally Well. These link with other relevant policy frameworks, such as the national approach to supporting and working with children and young people, to ensure all receive the help they need, when they need it. They also link to policies promoting the employability, education and life chances of both adults and young people (such as Workforce Plus, More Choices More Chances, and Curriculum for Excellence). We are working across Government and with partners in CPPs, third sector and wider society, to implement these frameworks in a cohesive way.

Scottish Government has also ensured that Scotland is covered by the Child Poverty Act, and is developing a Child Poverty Strategy in line with this. The strategy will set out the measures that we propose to take to contribute to the UK-wide target to eradicate child poverty by 2020, and to ensure as far as possible that children in Scotland do not experience socio-economic disadvantage. This strategy will be published in spring 2011.

The application was re-referred to Public Local Inquiry and a hearing was held in April this year in Duns. To date the official inquiry report has not been received, however upon receipt, full consideration will be given to all material issues, including the reporter''s findings and recommendations, in accordance with the relevant legislative and planning obligations.

Any recommendation by the reporter is still subject to consideration by ministers, when they make their decision on the Section 36 Fallago Wind Farm application in due course.

Scottish ministers have already allowed a derogation for the burial of fallen stock in a designated remote area. However, burial should not be regarded as the first option on remote areas, rather it should be the very last option considered for disposal purposes. In Scotland, the designated remote areas covers the majority of the Highlands and Islands and Argyllshire.

The Scottish Government will soon be consulting on consolidation the Animal by-Products (Scotland) Regulations 2003 and will be seeking views on a number of derogations including one that would allow burial/burning of fallen stock where access is impractical or there is health and safety risks of collection.

Smaller tree planting is already supported through the small scale woodland creation measure available under the Land Managers Options and also the native woodland and mixed conifer/broadleaf woodland models under the Rural Priorities mechanism of the Scotland Rural Development Programme.

Using the land managers options, landowners can plant new woods with native species from 0.1 - 1.0 hectare in size and using the Rural Priorities, landowners can create new native woodlands or mixed conifer/broadleaf woodland of 0.25 hectares or greater.

The requirements for correct disposal of fallen stock exist to protect human and animal health and to protect the environment.

Scientific evidence shows that the degradation process essential to ensure reduction of BSE/TSE infectivity cannot be guaranteed by burial. Even after burial scrapie infected material can persist in the soil for years and present a source of infection. Therefore it is essential that fallen stock is disposed in the correct way.

There are no plans to introduce natural regeneration as part of the small-scale woodland creation measure under land managers options. Support for natural regeneration is available through the Rural Priorities funding mechanism.

Fallen stock in the designated remote areas is currently allowed to be buried. In Scotland, the designated remote areas covers the majority of the Highlands and Islands and Argyllshire.

However, burial should not be regarded as the first option in remote areas, rather it should be the very last option considered for disposal purposes.

We currently have no plans to make a statement on primary school standards.

Cervical screening is and will remain an important part of the Scottish Government''s strategy on reducing the burden of cancer through early detection for many years to come. The introduction of the Human Papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination programme is expected to have an impact on the prevalence of HPV, and so cervical cancer, amongst women in Scotland in the long term, and this may in due course lead to changes in the screening programme.

The vaccination programme will not have an immediate impact upon the screening programme given that we will need to continue to offer cervical screening to those women who were out with the age range to receive the vaccine. We will continue to take account of epidemiological and surveillance information when taking decisions about the screening programme. The screening programme will also change as new technologies evolve such as automated imaging for cervical cytology and HPV testing.

As a result of research into women''s attitudes to screening, NHS Health Scotland will publish new information leaflets for women which will be sent with the women''s invitation to screening. These will be available later this year. In addition, new leaflets which give more specific information for women attending for the first time and lesbian and bisexual women will be published.
