Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many victims of crime the Cabinet Secretary for Justice and Veterans has met since being appointed in May 2021.
Answer
Since May 2021 the Cabinet Secretary for Justice and Veterans has taken a number of meetings and attended events at which victims/survivors have been present. As people will not always disclose or wish to mention the nature of their experiences, or want these recorded, it is not possible to provide a definitive answer. However, at least 14 meetings and events over the period where victims/survivors have been present have been identified.
