I agree with Mr Ewing. I think that we should also ask the Government to provide local councils with ring-fenced funding for that.

Can you also include, for the Government, the letters from the Law Society of Scotland and Thompsons Solicitors, as evidence?

We should write to the Minister for Higher and Further Education to highlight the evidence that the committee has gathered and to seek an update on the Government’s progress towards developing a consistent approach to data collection and safeguarding that will help to protect students.

Yes, it should, but should we not wait until Universities Scotland has updated us in October 2024?

My colleagues touched on that issue. My final question is this: does Redress Scotland agree with the former Deputy First Minister that the Fornethy survivors would not meet the evidential requirement, even if the scheme was extended?

Can we also try to find out what the barriers are that prevent women from various communities taking up cervical screening? Is there a way that we can ask for that data?

Yes, it does, although we should still write—

Good morning. I seek clarification on one point concerning cases being refused or not heard. Do you have a list of the evidence that can be accepted?

Could you add something? Perhaps you could ask the Scottish Government whether the funding will be adequate, sustainable and recurring. I understand that Lothian NHS Board is currently having to restrict access to insulin pumps and hybrid closed-loop technology for adults.

I have one last question. If you were First Minister now, or if you went back a year ago, what would you do differently to speed up the project?
