I am satisfied that the measures put in place were effective, although we will continue to learn lessons and improve.Over the past year, public, voluntary and private sector organisations have worked with the Scottish Government to identify and learn from the lessons of last winter and have conducted exercises together to deal with a range of severe conditions. On 26 October, the Scottish Government led a debate on winter resilience, during which a wide range of members voiced their support for the findings of the winter weather review group and for the Scottish Government’s major ready for winter initiative.
