Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee

New Petitions

Meeting date: 8 February 2023

David Torrance

Could the committee write first to the Scottish Law Commission to ask whether the issues that are raised in the petition will be looked at in phase 2 of its review of aspects of family law?

Continued Petitions

I will ask Mark Oakley first.

Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee

Continued Petitions

Meeting date: 8 February 2023

David Torrance

It looks as though you would have to physically lift it out for it to come out. That is what I was trying to get at.

Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee

Continued Petitions

Meeting date: 8 February 2023

On the point about communication, surely there must be records of the people who have the plots whom the council could contact.

Health, Social Care and Sport Committee

Patient Safety Commissioner for Scotland Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 7 February 2023

David Torrance

Good morning. My question is aimed at Bill Wright, considering his answer on the independence of the commissioner. Do you think that the bill in its current form will allow the commissioner to be independent?

Health, Social Care and Sport Committee

Patient Safety Commissioner for Scotland Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 7 February 2023

David Torrance

Good morning, everybody. Do you think that the patient safety commissioner should be independent of the Scottish Government and the NHS, and, if so, do the provisions in the bill ensure that independence? I will go to Rosemary Agnew first.

Health, Social Care and Sport Committee

Patient Safety Commissioner for Scotland Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 7 February 2023

David Torrance

How can the patient safety commissioner embed themselves in the current system and still stay truly independent?

Health, Social Care and Sport Committee

Patient Safety Commissioner for Scotland Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 31 January 2023

David Torrance

Good morning. Baroness Cumberlege, what is your opinion on the different approaches that are being taken in England and Scotland for the appointment of a patient safety commissioner? Which approach do you think would better achieve the ambitions that you have for the role?

Health, Social Care and Sport Committee

Patient Safety Commissioner for Scotland Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 31 January 2023

David Torrance

Thank you for that. Do you agree that there is a risk that a Scottish patient safety commissioner who was not sponsored by a relevant Scottish Government department would be easily overlooked?

Health, Social Care and Sport Committee

Food Standards Scotland

Meeting date: 24 January 2023

David Torrance

In light of evidence as at December 2022, only one of the 32 common frameworks has been finalised. What risks are there to Scottish food supplies, safety and production if the common frameworks in the remit of the FSS are not finalised?
