Can you outline for the committee the Scottish Commission on Social Security’s view on how the Scottish Government is dealing with eligibility? What was its view on the approach that the Government has taken?

For the record, I note that I am a councillor in Stirling Council.
What can be done to promote greater co-production of services that actively involves young people and their families? It is great to see Judy Edwards here today, and I put that question to her.

We could have a whole hour on just Covid-19. What impact has Covid-19 had on the mental health of children and young people? My question is to Lucy Hughes.

Good morning. I thank the witnesses for all the information and answers that they have given us so far. They have been really helpful.
My question is on waiting times. It is great that the Scottish Government has made significant announcements about CAMHS and funding. However, in my area and in other areas across Scotland, there are still significant waiting lists. I know that some of you have touched on this in previous answers, but what is your view on that? Why are there still significant waiting lists, and what can we do to help with that? That question is for Joanne Smith.

Yes. If a child or a young person has a long wait, what can we do during that time to help them?

Thank you for your patience, convener. I have one very quick question. I am conscious of the recent cut to universal credit. I want to know whether it, too, has exacerbated child poverty. That question goes to Mary Glasgow.

Evelyn Tweed
Yes. Good morning, panel, and thank you for all your contributions so far.
Last week, the Office for National Statistics said that the gap between the rich and the poor is the largest for more than a decade. We have an energy crisis and food prices are rising. What does that mean for child poverty and for our children’s health and wellbeing? I pose that question to Mary Glasgow.
