The next letter is from the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities on funding provision for secure care. Do members have any comments?

Thank you for that. You are right that there does not seem to be any indication that naloxone is being used—or being carried—at the moment. I am more than happy to write to the SFRS, to raise the points that you have made and to get a more detailed update on progress around that. Are members happy with that?
Members indicated agreement.

Yes—it is just as easy to do that.

Our final letter, which is again from Police Scotland, is a response on tackling online child abuse, grooming and exploitation.

I am happy to take forward that suggestion. The update was helpful. This is a growing and serious area of police work and it is right that we maintain a watching brief over how things progress when it comes to the policing response and the resource around that.
On a related issue, an invitation was extended to us to visit the Stop It Now! Scotland offices. We can certainly take that forward. I am not sure whether that is in the diary.

Okay. Thanks very much.
That is our final piece of correspondence. I thank members for their forbearance, as there was quite a bit to get through.
That concludes the public part of our meeting but, before we move into private session, I give a reminder that our next meeting will be a joint meeting with the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee and the Social Justice and Social Security Committee, next Thursday, 15 September, when we will hear evidence from Angela Constance on tackling drug deaths and problem drug use. That will be in place of our scheduled meeting of Wednesday 14 September.

On that note, Stephen Imrie has reminded me that we have already started to seek some of that information. You have raised a good point. Another option is to have a follow-up to the session on policing and mental health, in order to consider that session and other issues that have been raised. Do members agree to that?
