No meetings have taken place in 2018 with officials from the European Commission to discuss public ferry procurement issues. We continue to communicate with the European Commission on these issues and have requested a meeting. We remain in correspondence with the European Commission about arrangements for this meeting and our future approach to the procurement of ferry services, details of which will be made available when we announce the approach to be taken to the procurement of the Northern Isles services later in the spring.

I refer the member to the answer to question S5W-15508 on 29 March 2018. All answers to written parliamentary questions are available on the Parliament's website, the search facility for which can be found at http://www.parliament.scot/parliamentarybusiness/28877.aspx .

253 are wheelchair accessible. Of the 106 remaining, only 76 of these stations are inaccessible to both platforms whilst 30 of them have access to one platform.

A table providing a detailed listing of by-period targets is available from the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (Bib. Number 59592).

Between 20 August 2017 and 3 February 2018 (rail periods 6-11 inclusive), 1.06 percent of the total numbers of services planned to be run over this period were skip-stopped.

The Scottish Government does not hold this information in this form. The Member may care to approach ScotRail directly to ascertain if they hold this information or not.

Neither Scottish Government or Transport Scotland hold this information. However ScotRail have provided the data it records for all incidents of passengers taking ill either at station or on train.

These figures confirm that of the 149 incidents recorded of passengers taking ill whilst travelling on ScotRail services during the last 12 months, 116 required an ambulance to attend.
