One of the most difficult things that I do is receive letters from MSPs—some of you might have written to me in the past—with cases of constituents who have unbelievably good higher qualifications and would like to be a doctor, for example, but who are 1 or 2 percentage points below a line, even given the contextual admissions that we offer.

I am also keen to hear about expectation management. As MSP for Edinburgh Western, I get a steady stream of constituents through my door with letters from the health board that say that they have been scheduled for surgery or treatment of some kind, and that they can expect by law to be seen within 12 weeks but sometimes exceptional pressures mean that that...

Before I ask my substantive question, I want to go back to some of the responses to Mairi Gougeon’s questions around youth offending. As the MSP for Edinburgh Northern and Leith, I know that we have some difficulties in this city with dangerous and antisocial joyriding of motorbikes.

To pick up on Gillian Martin’s point, the presentation of the inspection reports could perhaps be reviewed, too. MSPs get copied in when the inspection reports are sent to our schools—we get prior notice of them—and those external factors are not reflected to any degree in the reports that I see.

There are dozens of small projects across Scotland in which we are addressing visitor issues or conservation challenges, but there are a number of projects, including in Doune, Edinburgh, Caerlaverock and Orkney, in which we are looking at the sites in the round and asking what we can do collectively to improve the offer.
