Rural Affairs and Islands Committee

Future Agriculture Policy

Meeting date: 1 March 2023

Jim Fairlie

I will be very brief. Can you define what you mean by “mineral grassland”? Are you talking about grassland that is on arable land on, say, a four-year rotation?

Jim, I will let you have the final word—very quickly, please. Of course, I say that with fondness.

Jim Walker, I will come to you, but with a slightly different question. I know how frustrated you are, but please do not use up all the time.

What would be the minimum number of cows to give us a critical mass in order to keep the suckler herd viable?

COVID-19 Recovery Committee

Long Covid Inquiry

Meeting date: 23 February 2023

Jim Fairlie

I am curious about some of the evidence that I have heard today. At the start, you said that your members are not being inundated with people presenting with long Covid. I think that it was Amy Small who said that that was because people have stopped coming because they are not being listened to.

Jane-Claire Judson is saying that she wants her organisation to be inundated with people who have long Covid. GPs are being inundated generally. Why is the situation not being co-ordinated better? Is it because her organisation is in the third sector? Does the NHS not work closely with her third sector organisation? Clearly, we have a huge problem. Is it because GPs are under so much pressure? Are you not getting the time to think about how to do things differently?

COVID-19 Recovery Committee

Long Covid Inquiry

Meeting date: 23 February 2023

Jim Fairlie

Okay. It seems to me that youse all need to learn how to work out what all the bloody terms mean. STIMULATE-ICP—does everybody know what that is? Anyway. I am sorry. Janis, I think that you wanted to come in.

COVID-19 Recovery Committee

Long Covid Inquiry

Meeting date: 23 February 2023

Jim Fairlie

Dr Shackles, I will come to you first. There has been a lot of talk about workforce pressures. What impact have they had on establishing and delivering the services that people with long Covid need, and what action can be taken to assist NHS boards to fill the specific posts that are required to deal with long Covid?
