The most recent report was published in October 2014: http://www.mwcscot.org.uk/media/203499/mha_monitoring_2013_2014__3__final.pdf Page 43 (table 7.1) of the report shows that 591, 561 and 654 place of safety orders were notified to the MWC in 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14 respectively. The MWC states that, due to system changes, it is only reporting at ‘a national Scotland level’ for 2013-14. The MWC monitoring reports for the years 2011-12 and 2012-13 do provide a breakdown of the place of safety orders by seven legacy police force areas. http://www.mwcscot.org.uk/media/94661/mha_2011-12__2_.pdf (page 55) and:http://www.mwcscot.org.uk/media/138265/mha_monitoring_report_final_25_sept_2013.p df (page 49).

(S4W-23741) Michael Matheson: The information requested is not held centrally. As stated in the answer to question S4W-23740 on 16 January 2015, the only statistical information available is provided in the Mental Welfare Commission’s statistical monitoring report. Training and guidance in relation to police engagement with those suffering mental ill-health is on- going and Police Scotland has engaged widely with partner organisations at local and national levels, including the Scottish Association for Mental Health, NHS Health Scotland’s Suicide Prevention Programme and the Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland, to develop standard operating procedures which will introduce consistent practice throughout Scotland and clarify the powers for officers and the decision-making process to be followed. New training packages have been developed and scheduling of the training for over 22,000 officers is on-going. This new training will support the training already in place. Police Scotland is also collaborating with partners to develop early and effective interventions and preventative approaches to reduce demand on critical services and improve the service to those experiencing mental health crises. An example is the community triage scheme to be piloted from January 2015. This will involve mental health officers based centrally on duty who have the skills to provide on the spot advice and support. Responsibility for the delivery of healthcare in custody has now transferred from the police to the NHS.

  • Bute House the Offi Cial Residence of the First Minister of Scotland
    Bute House The offi cial residence of the First Minister of Scotland Bute House 20pp brochure 02.indd 1 17/07/2017 08:53 Welcome to Bute House ince I became First Minister, I have welcomed thousands of people to Bute House. As the official residence of the First Minister of Scotland, it is here that I host official guests from this country and overseas on behalf of the nation. Bute House is also the meeting place of the Scottish Cabinet and the venue for official functions including meetings, receptions, lunches and dinners. Within these walls, I get to bring together people from all walks of life through meetings with business leaders, public service employees and the voluntary sector, and receptions to celebrate all aspects of Scottish society and success. Every Christmas, I even get to welcome youngsters from around the country for an annual children’s party. All year round Bute House performs a dual role of both residence and place of work for the First Minister. All four of my predecessors lived here too, and their portraits line the wall of the staircase leading to the Cabinet Room. Before the Scottish Parliament was reconvened in 1999, Bute House was home to eight different Secretaries of State for Scotland from 1970 onwards. Many of the key conversations and decisions in recent Scottish political history have taken place within these walls. Even without its modern role, however, Bute House would be of significant historic interest. It was built in the late 18th century, and is at the heart of one of the great masterpieces of Georgian architecture – the north side of Robert Adam’s Charlotte Square.

  • Robert Adam's First Marylebone House
    Colin Thom, ‘Robert Adam’s first Marylebone house: the story of General Robert Clerk, the Countess of Warwick and their mansion in Mansfield Street’,The Georgian Group Journal, Vol. XXIII, 2015, pp. 125–146 TEXT © THE AUTHORS 2015 ROBERT ADAM’S FIRST MARYLEBONE HOUSE: THE STORY OF GENERAL ROBERT CLERK, THE COUNTESS OF WARWICK AND THEIR MANSION IN MANSFIELD STREET COLIN THOM General Robert Clerk, patron in the s of one of Robert Adam’s earliest London town houses, has remained a shadowy figure for Adam scholars, with seemingly little documentary material about his life to draw upon, but this is no longer the case. He was well known in political, literary and military circles and there are now plentiful clues to be found as to his career, his character and his often unusual opinions on all manner of subjects – including architecture. Much of this is brought together here for the first time. As to Clerk’s house, designed expressly for him and his wife-to-be Elizabeth, Countess of Warwick, it has long been recognized that it was not built exactly to Adam’s known plans. Previous studies have provided important new information and fresh insights but none has been able to recreate with certainty the original layout of Clerk House nor explain fully the prolonged, complicated story of its construction and occupation. This essay, which stems from research for the forthcoming Survey of London volumes on St Marylebone, aims to address these and other aspects of the building’s history and illustrates for the first time Fig. General Robert Clerk.
