It would be useful to find out whether the issues that Mr Riddiford raised have been taken up by the Scottish Government and when it will make the final assessment. That would pre-empt the cabinet secretary’s oral evidence, and I hope that it would forearm the cabinet secretary’s response on that issue.

Finance Committee 11 January 2012
In paragraphs 9 to 19 of our report on the draft budget, we expressed concern about the lack of early years indicators, despite the fact that the national outcomes document refers to ensuring that“children have the best start in life and are ready to succeed”.Given the emphasis on prevention, do you intend to look at that area again? I do not want to pre-em...

It is right that the talks continue, and I do not want to pre-empt them. We must find a solution that puts patient safety at the top of our list of concerns and recognises that the status quo before implementation of the interim arrangements was not in the interests of ambulance staff.I am confident that with the co-operation of management, the Government a...

Meeting of the Parliament 08 September 2011
The cabinet secretary indicated that the last reorganisation pre-dated mobile phones. Sadly, although we now live in a mobile phone world, I am incapable of working out how to switch my phone off, so I apologise for what looked like discourtesy in dashing from the chamber—it was, in fact, simply idiocy, for which I apologise to the chamber.I thank the cabin...

In the words of the German sociologist and political economist, Max Weber:“three pre-eminent qualities are decisive for the politician: passion, a feeling of responsibility and a sense of proportion.”Although no one doubts the cabinet secretary's passion for justice issues, sadly, in his handling of this consultation, he was not proportionate.

We have sought to take measures that preserve employment, particularly in the public sector, where we know that women predominate and where the services that are provided are of key importance to equality groups.Equality considerations have underpinned the development of the draft budget, and we have described this in more detail in our equality statement on the budget.In our work around the budget, we have taken on board the comments and criticisms that were made by the committee last year and have drawn on the work that the committee has undertaken as part of the pre...

I do not have the exact number in my head, but I would be surprised if, back in the pre-concordat days, the proportion of the Scottish budget for providing school education that was under ministers’ control—the ring-fenced grants that the Government held in the centre and which were not in the local government settlement—was more than about 12 to 15 per cen...
