I am happy to do that if that issue is highlighted within social security. Ally MacPhail is welcome to comment on that.

I will just intervene here. On the committee’s visit to Dundee, we discussed the SCI—Scottish care information—gateway process. An action point that I suggest for the committee is to write to the Cabinet Secretary for NHS Recovery, Health and Social Care about primary care and GP services using the SCI gateway network. I do not think that it is incumbent on Social Security Scotland to push forward that agenda. I suggest that we write to the health secretary to ask him to look into that and consider how we can incentivise GP services to use that process consistently.

I think that that concludes our questions for today, unless—[Interruption.] I see Jeremy Balfour. Did you want to come in with a supplementary, Jeremy?

Does that conclude everything? [Interruption.] Ah, right—Camilla Kidner from SPICe would like to come in. Did you want to comment? [Interruption.] My apologies—there was a bit of confusion there.

Could Social Security Scotland give examples of the type of system improvements that are being prioritised in your on-going strategy, particularly with regard to the SPM case management system?
