We hope to involve the First Minister at an event in the morning and engage with the Parliament in the afternoon, and we are working on holding a reception or event in the evening to engage key stakeholders and disabled people from throughout Scotland.
Primary care has now evolved into a health team in which GPs work with community and practice nurses, midwives, reception staff, managers, pharmacists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and chiropodists to name but a few.
Is it not an appalling commentary on our society that it is sometimes necessary to place police officers on duty in hospital casualty reception areas? That is extremely worrying.What are we going to do about it?
I could not help thinking what my Tory members in Inverness would think of me going off with two Labour members when other MSPs were piling on to the bus to the Grampian reception. That is another example of how, in this Parliament, MSPs from all parties are capable of putting political hats aside and concentrating on issues.
We arrived in the city on Monday night and received a wonderful reception from Aberdeen City Council, the Aberdeen Harbour Board and the other sponsors.
I understand that the First Minister had a photo call today and that he will attend a reception organised by the European Commission this evening, but that is the extent of the Scottish Executive's involvement in Europe day.
The general trend in 2000 was downwards, with a 12 per cent drop in the number of remand prisoners and an 11 per cent drop in receptions for fine default. Unfortunately, we cannot jump to conclusions about long-term trends from those figures, as we already know that the number of female prisoners has increased during the course of 2001.
I presume that that does not preclude somebody from turning up in person and completing a simple form at the reception area. That is correct. More important, will not it be possible for people to make a request by telephone?
