Scottish Government Tuesday 06 August 2019 SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT Economy Finlay Carson (Galloway and West Dumfries) (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party): To ask the Scottish Government what plans it has to consult on a new sectoral marine plan to identify locations for future large-scale offshore wind developments. (S5W-24328) Paul Wheelhouse: The Scottish Government expects to consult on the draft Sectoral Marine Plan for offshore wind and associated Sustainability Appraisal later this year. The consultation will last for 12 weeks and will include a number of consultation events across Scotland. The details of the locations and timings of these events will be made available in advance to help maximise participation. Alasdair Allan (Na h-Eileanan an Iar) (Scottish National Party): To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S5W-21386 by Fergus Ewing on 6 March 2019, whether it will provide an update on what action it has taken to assist the workforce at Talk Talk in Stornoway ahead of the expected redundancies on 31 July. (S5W-24336) Fergus Ewing: The Scottish Government have been working in partnership with Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) and Partnership Action for Continuing Employment(PACE) to assist staff who have faced redundancy due to the closure of the TalkTalk Stornoway office on 31 July. Support for employees continues to be provided following the closure to ensure all employment opportunities are explored and PACE assistance provided as appropriate. Finlay Carson (Galloway and West Dumfries) (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party): To ask the Scottish Government what measures it has taken to support the work of the Scottish Land Commission since September 2018. (S5W-24358) Roseanna Cunningham: The Scottish Land Commission is key to the Scottish Government’s long-term programme of land reform. Scottish Government officials meet with Land Commission staff regularly on a range of policy issues and to provide sponsorship support. The Scottish Government works closely with the Land Commission to ensure delivery of its Strategic Plan, which reflects Scottish Government priorities for land reform, as set out in the Programmes for Government (2017 – 2018 and 2018 – 2019). Since September 2018 the Land Commission has published two major reports which made a number of recommendations to Scottish Ministers. In November 2018 it published a review of community ownership mechanisms, including Community Right to Buy legislation. We are now working with the Land Commission to implement the recommendations, and have established a multi-agency group to provide strategic oversight of this process. Officials are also working closely with the Land Commission and other stakeholders to develop detailed options to progress its recommendations on scale and concentration of land ownership in rural Scotland, which were published in March 2019. These recommendations were supported by the Scottish Parliament in a motion agreed by the Scottish Parliament following a land reform debate on 21 March. The Land Commission has developed a protocol to support the Scottish Government’s Land Rights and Responsibilities Statement and Guidance on Engaging Communities in Decisions Relating to Land, and is promoting this throughout Scotland. The Scottish Government has endorsed this work, as well as the Land Commission’s work in advising land owners on how to follow the principles set out in the Statement. The Scottish Government provides ongoing sponsorship support to the Land Commission. This includes supporting it to be an accountable, high- performing organisation with effective governance structures that delivers its objectives in line with Ministerial priorities. For 2018-19 the grant-in-aid provided to the Commission was £1.4 million and for 2019-20 this increased to £1.5 million. The Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform meets formally with the Land Commission twice a year. Education, Communities and Justice Miles Briggs (Lothian) (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party): To ask the Scottish Government, in light of the Planning (Scotland) Bill legislating to merge Scottish Planning Policy (SPP) into the National Planning Framework 4, when the next SPP review will commence, and what the timescale will be for consultation, consideration and implementation. (S5W-24340) Kevin Stewart: Revised national planning policies will be incorporated into National Planning Framework (NPF) 4 and be reviewed as an integral part of the NPF preparation process. We are committed to doing this in an open and collaborative way and will be providing more information about the proposed timescales and consultation arrangements later in the summer. Richard Lyle (Uddingston and Bellshill) (Scottish National Party): To ask the Scottish Government what plans it has to create a level playing field for the promotion of micro renewables within the planning system. (S5W-24404) Kevin Stewart: All planning applications are determined in accordance with the relevant local development plan unless there are material considerations that would justify a departure from the plan. There are extensive permitted development rights for the installation of both domestic and non-domestic micro-renewables. As part of the ongoing review of the planning system we propose to consult on whether any changes or additions to permitted development rights, including those for micro- renewables, should be made in due course. Michelle Ballantyne (South Scotland) (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party): To ask the Scottish Government by what date will the online application service will open for Best Start Foods. (S5W-24430) Joe FitzPatrick: Scottish Government laid The Welfare Foods (Best Start Foods) (Scotland) Regulations 2019, in Parliament on 31 May 2019 and these will come into force on 12 August 2019. The online application system for Best Start Foods will be available from that date. Health and Social Care Alex Cole-Hamilton (Edinburgh Western) (Scottish Liberal Democrats): To ask the Scottish Government how it encourages the NHS to increase the use of technology in care systems to improve services, and what resources and funding it provides. (S5W-24310) Jeane Freeman: Scotland's Digital Health and Care Strategy recognises the benefits that technology can have in supporting the NHS to improve services. The Scottish Government invests around £89m each year to implement a range of improvements including; provision of national GP IT systems to replace ageing local systems, a modern replacement for the Community Health Index and Child Health Systems and a national contract with Microsoft which will ensure that all boards have access to the latest technologies to support modern working practices and ensure they maintain cyber resilience. As part of that, the Scottish Government's Technology Enabled Care Programme has also seen significant success in implementing technology to support more person-centred care. This includes for example the implementation of the Attend Anywhere Video Consultation Platform (also known as NHS Near Me) as well as the scale up in the use of the Home and Mobile Health Monitoring system FLORENCE which supports self- management of conditions such as high blood pressure using SMS Text Messaging. Alex Cole-Hamilton (Edinburgh Western) (Scottish Liberal Democrats): To ask the Scottish Government what steps it has taken to tackle the reported 10-fold increase in HIV infection among drug users in Glasgow. (S5W-24370) Joe FitzPatrick: NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is leading the response to the HIV outbreak amongst people who inject drugs in Glasgow. This is an important issue; I take a keen interest in the response to this outbreak and note that a great deal of work is going into supporting this vulnerable group. We are providing £2.13m over three years to third sector organisations to support innovative work to tackle poor sexual health and reduce blood borne virus transmissions. This includes funding for Scottish Drugs Forum to work with people who inject drugs to help them reduce risk behaviours connected with HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Alex Cole-Hamilton (Edinburgh Western) (Scottish Liberal Democrats): To ask the Scottish Government, in light of reported concerns, whether any NHS boards have waiting lists for access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). (S5W-24371) Joe FitzPatrick: NHS Lothian and NHS Highland have reported that they currently have waiting lists for access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Alex Cole-Hamilton (Edinburgh Western) (Scottish Liberal Democrats): To ask the Scottish Government what meetings it has had with academics at Glasgow Caledonian University following its research indicating a 10-fold increase in HIV infection among drug users in Glasgow. (S5W-24372) Joe FitzPatrick: I note that the research referred to examined the causes of the outbreak of HIV amongst people who inject drugs in Glasgow, which was identified in 2015. It was the product of collaboration between Glasgow Caledonian University, Health Protection Scotland, and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. Scottish Government officials have well-established working relationships with several authors of the paper, including colleagues from each of the above organisations. I visited the Brownlee clinic, which is leading the medical response to this outbreak, in November 2018 and visited Waverley Care’s street support team, which works to provide treatment support and testing, in July 2019.

    5 16/110 PERTH AND KINROSS COUNCIL Lifelong Learning Committee 9 March 2016 Perth and Kinross Community Learning and Development Plan 2015-2018 Report by Director (Education and Children’s Services) PURPOSE OF REPORT This report sets out Perth and Kinross’s response to The Requirements for Community Learning and Development (Scotland) Regulations 2013 and the development of Community Learning and Development Plan 2015-2018. 1. BACKGROUND/MAINISSUES 1.1 In June 2012 the Scottish Government issued the Strategic Guidance for Community Planning Partnerships: Community Learning and Development (CLD). Although directed at Community Planning Partners and recognising the crucial role played by a wide range of services and organisations, the Strategic Guidance for CLD clearly identifies the role for local authorities, stating that the Scottish Government expects local authorities “to provide clear leadership and direction, and to drive the action needed to ensure we maximise the contribution of CLD partners in the reform of public services.” 1.2 The Requirements for Community Learning and Development (Scotland) Regulations 2013 state that every local authority must produce a CLD three year plan. This must specify: how the authority’s provision of CLD is co-ordinated over three years any action other persons may take in providing CLD any needs for CLD that may not be met over the three year period. 1.3 The purpose of CLD is to empower people, individually and collectively, to make positive changes in their lives, and in their communities, through learning. To achieve this, CLD focuses on: Improved life chances for people of all ages, through learning, personal development and active citizenship Stronger, more resilient, supportive, influential and inclusive communities.
