Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee
6th Meeting, 2023
Committees sometimes meet in private. This might be to hear confidential or particularly sensitive information, or to discuss a draft report. When a committee meets in private, its proceedings are not broadcast and, usually, there is no Official Report. However, the committee minutes will record the business taken and any decisions reached.
The Committee will consider petition PE1958: Extend aftercare for previously looked after young people, and remove the continuing care age cap, taking evidence from—
the petitioner, Jasmin-Kasaya Pilling, and Laura Pasternak - Who Cares? Scotland,
and then from—
Joanne McMeeking - CELCIS, Megan Farr - Children and Young People’s Commissioner, and Fiona McFarlane - The Promise Scotland;
and then consider—
PE1610: Upgrade the A75;
PE1657: A77 upgrade;
PE1896: Provide every primary school child in Scotland with a reusable water bottle;
PE1941: Stop the destruction of headstones within community cemeteries;
PE1948: Improve the way that unexplained deaths are dealt with; and
PE1950: Ensure immunosuppressed people in Scotland can access the Evusheld antibody treatment.
