To ask the Scottish Executive how many midwives graduated in (a) 2007-08 and (b) 2008-09 and whether all obtained positions as midwives.
Answer
The number of midwives who graduated from Scottish higher education institutions in 2007-09 was 161 and in 2008-09 was 143.
The Scottish Government does not hold statistics on the number of newly qualified midwives who gain employment. However, only 14 newly qualified nurses and midwives required access the one year job guarantee scheme in 2007-08 and 20 accessed the scheme in 2008-09.
The Scottish Government continues to fund the national one year job guarantee scheme, which is intended to ensure that every newly qualified midwife receives the offer of a job either through their own means or with assistance. It is designed to ensure that all newly qualified midwives have the opportunity to build on the clinical experience gained during their pre-registration programme.

To ask the Scottish Executive how much has been set aside for contingencies in the contract for the building of the new Southern General Hospital.
Answer
The Scottish Capital Investment Manual guidance makes clear that contingencies and optimism bias should be provided for. In the outline business case, these were appropriately calculated and incorporated in to the health board''s affordability envelope. The maximum price received from the successful bidder is within the board''s budget estimates and allows for an adequate contingency provision within the overall affordability envelope.

To ask the Scottish Executive whether it sought advice from the European Commission on the procurement process for the new Southern General Hospital.
Answer
The procuring authority is NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (the board) and therefore the Scottish Government has not taken any advice from the European Commission.

To ask the Scottish Executive whether Netcare staff at the Scottish Regional Treatment Centre at Stracathro Hospital will be transferred to the NHS under the transfer of undertakings (protection of employment) regulations (TUPE) following the recent announcement about its return to the NHS.
Answer
The issue of whether TUPE rules apply is a legal matter and therefore a matter for NHS Tayside to confirm.
The decision by NHS Tayside to take over the management of Stracathro offers the opportunity for future employment within the NHS for Netcare staff, and for others within the community, with the skills and expertise needed to care for patients. This is one of the positive outcomes achieved by securing future service provision at Stracathro as part of NHS Tayside.
