They were denying her the benefit from the date when she submitted the original application on the ground that they had no proof of it, but they had proof of it, because the DLA had confirmed that. I have ended up writing as an MSP to Iain Duncan Smith saying that this lady, who has been awarded PIP, should have it backdated to the original start date, beca...

The issue is more about how we retain in certain localities GPs who might for whatever reason otherwise decide to relocate; it is not about making the delivery of primary healthcare affordable, because there is no cross-subsidy from the dispensing part of the business—it was helpful to know that.

It calls on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to bring forward legislative proposals to repeal section 124 of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, as amended by section 31 of the Local Government etc (Scotland) Act 1994.Members will note the Scottish Government’s view, which is that it supports the involvement of religious representatives in councils’ decision-making process on education and does not have any plans to change the existing provisions.I am sure that members are aware of this, but I highlight for the record that a member’s bill proposal on the subject of the petition has been lodged by John Finnie MSP...

A huge resource will be required to get tenants to accept the fact that they have a responsibility to pay for the house they live in, but they will be supported in the means of making payment.We have had representations from one MSP who had someone come to their surgery saying that they had a plastic bag full of letters that they were scared to open.
