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?

Health, Social Care and Sport Committee
Meeting date: 7 February 2023

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
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
Meeting date: 31 January 2023

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
Meeting date: 31 January 2023
David Torrance
