In addition, the staff have had the time to buy into the programme. The situation is not necessarily the same in Barlinnie, where the programme is delivered in—I think—the top flat of Letham hall.
The agenda as originally published had the item on the Scottish statutory instrument that the Minister for Finance and Public Service Reform is coming along to address at the top, but he is not available until about 3.30, therefore I have rejigged the agenda so that the item will come at the end.
I know that the review has some way to go, but will the minister assure us that the full impact of the sacrifice that the Scottish fleet has already made will be given proper weight and that we will not be trying to heap additional pain on top of that which has already been experienced?
New opportunities funding can be put on top of that. In that context, I should mention that we have a project running up in the Highlands that is similar to some of the sure start projects.
I can think of examples in which that has happened as an ad hoc solution to problems in hot spots, but I cannot think of campaigns that have included Travellers in a logical and planned way. Travellers usually rise to the top of the agenda when there is a problem to address, but then they sink below the horizon again.
