Thank you for the clarification; the thing that I read was clearly not correct. We have a very high smoking rate in Scotland in comparison with the rest of the UK. Nonetheless, given that it is still a small proportion of people in Scotland who smoke, is there an argument to be made that we could have a generation that is smoking and vaping free?

We know that there is a marked difference in the quality of dental care for people in the most deprived areas versus those in the least deprived, especially our children. How will you monitor the contribution that the additional funding that is going into general dental services makes to continuing improvements to address oral health inequalities?

Cabinet secretary, who is responsible? Have you held health boards accountable for not delivering Humza Yousaf’s promise in 2022? Who has been held accountable for that failure?
