I have a couple of separate questions. The question of where we are with Anne’s law has been raised by other panels of witnesses. There is an indication from other groups that we could move forward with that quickly—and it is so important. What are your views on that?

Fiona Davies, do you have anything to add?

That is helpful. It is something that you already promote, but legislation might help to cement it.

Does Maree Allison want to comment?

As no one else wants to come in, I will move to my next question.

Are you happy with the proposed amendments to children’s and justice services? Some previous witnesses set out a particular direction for us on that. Does anybody want to comment?

Where could we advance Anne’s law? The committee has heard from witnesses that the intent is there and that, from a policy perspective, people are making sure that that important contact with families is happening. Do we need to wait for the National Care Service (Scotland) Bill, or is there legislation that we could use or something that we could do to ensure that that is a right, rather than it being the case that there is just the potential to make it happen?

That is lovely—thank you.

That was the subject of my next question. Would NHS directors welcome that across the board?

I have one final question. If the bill progresses, is there a particular amendment or part that should be prioritised and worked on at this stage?

Do you mean that some of how we deliver that should be in the bill?
