Did you consider any other pilots, either this time around or for the future?

Minister, will you give us some background to the pilot on opt-out testing? Why was it implemented so quickly, and why is it running for such a short period of time?

Are the durations of the pilots long enough to give you a picture of what is really happening?

Do you have any early feedback that you can share with us?

Do you know when the evaluation will take place?

My first question is for Alan Eagleson. You said that Scotland is falling behind, and you mentioned the delivery plan. What do you want to see in that plan? Do we have any idea why that is taking so long?

I was concerned to read that 31 per cent of Scots think that they are not the type of person who could contract HIV. That is an issue when we consider the number of heterosexuals who are testing positive. What work is being done to tackle that misconception?

No one is indicating that they wish to respond. Does that mean that no work is being done?

[Inaudible.]—for Stirling Council.

If no one else wants to come in, I will go on to my next question.

Thank you, convener—it took me a moment to unmute myself there.

It is lovely to see the panel. I thank you so much for your answers so far. I was interested to hear from Dr Clutterbuck and others that we in Scotland are starting to fall behind the rest of the UK. I am interested to know what you are all looking for from the long-awaited delivery plan. Do you have any concerns that you can share with us just now? What do you want to see in that plan? Perhaps Dr Clutterbuck can go first.
