The Scottish Government is aware of the concerns that have been raised on this matter and is considering the position.

Oil & Gas workers who are identified as suspect cases offshore with mild and moderate symptoms and who return to shore will be advised to follow current guidance and self-isolate as soon as possible after arriving onshore, minimising any contact with the general public. Any worker who is sufficiently ill to require hospital admission will be evacuated from an oil installation and managed according to existing hospital admission guidance on arrival onshore to minimise the risks of exposing others.

We are working hard to increase capacity to use testing to get critical workers in isolation back to work, but we will have to make difficult choices and currently we need to prioritise the health and social care sector. We continue to work with NHS Boards and others to increase testing capacity. We continue to engage with Oil and Gas UK, trades unions and other key industry stakeholders on measures to support the safety of those working in the industry.

Scottish Ministers recognise the important role that oil and gas workers are playing in maintaining a secure supply of energy to consumers at this time, and for maintaining critical national infrastructure, and I have thanked them on behalf of the Scottish Government. We will continue to liaise with Oil and Gas UK, trades unions and other stakeholders on measures to protect the safety of those working in the industry.

Current UK Guidance applies to oil & gas workers, in that Health Protection Scotland advises that any worker with relevant symptoms or any worker from households where there are suspect cases should self-isolate for the recommended periods and not travel offshore.

The Scottish Government provides support to the renewable energy sector through a number of non-domestic rates reliefs, such as the renewable energy relief. We continue to consider ways to support the renewable energy sector and keep all of our non-domestic rates policies under review.

The supply of medicines is reserved to the UK Government.

The four UK Governments are working together and with the pharmaceutical industry to ensure that the medicine supply chain continues to operate effectively throughout the UK.

I met with Community Pharmacy Scotland on 18 March 2020 and discussed medicine supply and workforce resilience with them directly. My Officials are working with CPS to ensure that community pharmacies continue to receive medicines supplies to dispense to those patients who need them.

There are currently no medicines shortages as a result of COVID-19; and people should not stockpile medicines.

HM Revenue and Customs is responsible for income tax data across the UK. While anonymised sample data is shared with the Scottish Government, we do not have detailed breakdowns for football or any other sectors. Data at such a specific level is often not disclosed due to issues around taxpayer confidentiality.

However, we recognise that football makes a significant contribution to the Scottish economy.

For example, in November 2018, Celtic FC published a report commissioned from the Fraser of Allander Institute which showed the club contributed £165 million to the Scottish economy in a year.

The SPFL has commissioned research to consider the economic impact of all 42 senior clubs, and I understand this will be published shortly.

Scottish Government, along with key partners, ran a social media campaign throughout summer 2018 encouraging young people to enjoy the outdoors, whilst promoting outdoor health messages such as checking for and removing ticks safely using the tags @ramblersscot, @youngscot, @nature_scot #TopTipsToFightTicks, #HealthyOutdoors #AGreatDayOut:

Information on the number of boys born in 2006 is available on the National Records for Scotland website available at: https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/. As per my previous answer, eligibility for the HPV vaccine is based on boys being in S1 during 2019/20 and not by DOB criteria.

The Scottish Government has not undertaken any analysis in respect of the efficacy of planning conditions in wind farm developments. It is the responsibility of the determining authority, whether that be the planning authority or Scottish Ministers on appeal, to ensure that conditions meet the six tests set out in Circular 4/1998 on the Use of Planning Conditions in Planning Permissions, in that they are necessary, relevant to planning, relevant to the development to be permitted, enforceable, precise, and reasonable in all other respects. Any party, including the local planning authority, has the right to challenge the reporters decision to the Court of Session on a point of law – this could include matters relating to conditions attached to a planning permission.

Enforcement of planning control is a matter for the planning authority. There are a wide range of enforcement powers in planning legislation and planning authorities have discretion to determine what power, or combination of powers, to use in any particular situation.

Where an appeal has been made to Scottish Ministers, planning regulations require the planning authority to provide to the appointed reporter, amongst other things, a note of the conditions that the planning authority consider should be imposed in the event that planning permission is granted. In the majority of appeals which are allowed these conditions are largely accepted by the reporter however it is open to them to decide that some or all of those conditions should be amended or that additional conditions should be imposed. DPEA will give careful consideration to any possible impact on any future decisions in relation to any matters raised in this regard from a planning authority.
