Good morning, panel. I will be brief and will ask Rachel Cackett a question. What kind of cost might be created for third sector organisations by the provision on monitoring and information sharing?

Given that homelessness services are not included in the functions that can be transferred to the national care service, are they at risk of falling through the cracks?

Thank you, minister. I have no other questions, convener.

The committee has heard—as, I am sure, many individual MSPs have heard—that there are pressing issues for care right now and that we cannot wait for the national care service. Is all reform of the sector on hold while the bill is being considered?

Good morning, panel. I have a very small question. Is there anything missing from the bill that would be required to give effect to these principles?

Again, I have a general question. Will the charter have a particular effect, or is it more of a public relations exercise? I will ask Paul Traynor.

Anyone from the panel will do, but Suzanne Munday has talked quite a lot about getting involved with ethnic minorities. I have worked with you before, so it is nice seeing you again. My question is quite general: is there anything missing from the bill?

Thank you. Does anyone else want to come in? Does anyone feel that there is anything missing from the bill?

Good morning. Most of my questions have been answered, but I have one small question for the minister. Has the Scottish Government considered the impact of the cliff edge on social mobility?

Good morning, panel. I will put Dr Hosie in the spotlight again. The committee has heard again and again, particularly when discussing equalities matters, that there is not enough data or that data is not collected. How much progress has been made in improving data sources on equalities?
