I am very interested in a minimum income guarantee, as I think the public are, too. How challenging will it be to put that in place?

My questions are about the moniker that Scotland has had as “the sick man of Europe”. Does that moniker still apply to Scotland?

We have talked a lot about the health and wellbeing of our healthcare staff and professionals, but what can we do immediately to support them, give them a listening ear and ensure that they know that they are valued? A lot of the things that we have been discussing are quite medium to long term, and I would like to hear what we can do right now.

The contributions that you have made this morning have been very powerful, and I find myself sighing quite loudly—I think that the convener has glanced at me a couple of times to see that I am okay. What makes me interested in this debate and how we are moving forward is the fact that I am getting a lot of letters from anxious constituents asking how they are going to deal with the cuts to universal credit and how the Scottish Government will mitigate what they are frightened is coming. Which of the polices in the programme for government do you think will have the greatest impacts?

Are you concerned that anything in the programme for government might have unintended consequences for child poverty?

I note that nearly a quarter of CAMHS referrals are rejected. What happens to the children and young people whose referrals are rejected?

I state for the record that I am a councillor at Stirling Council.
My questions are on child and adolescent mental health services. A lot of anxious constituents have been in touch with me on that subject and I know that there is a problem not only in the Stirling constituency but across Scotland. Will you give us a flavour of how the recovery plan will address the issue?

In a recent debate about women’s health, I spoke, in particular, about my journey with endometriosis. It was wonderful to hear that so many women across Scotland welcome the Government’s plans for making progress on the issue, but can you give more detail on how we are going to reduce diagnosis times? Women are very interested in that.
