    Journal of the Scottish Parliament Volume 2: 2nd Parliamentary Year, Session 3 (9 May 2008 – 8 May 2009) SPJ 3.2 © Parliamentary copyright. Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body Information on the Scottish Parliament’s copyright policy can be found on the website - www.scottish.parliament.uk or by contacting Public Information on 0131 348 5000. Foreword The Journal is the central, long-term, authoritative record of what the Parliament has done. The Minutes of Proceedings, which are produced for each meeting of the Parliament, do that in an immediate way, while the Journal presents essentially the same material but has the benefit of hindsight to allow any errors and infelicities of presentation to be corrected. Unlike the Official Report, which primarily records what is said, the Minutes of Proceedings, and in the longer term the Journal, provide the authoritative record of what was done. The Journal is required under Rule 16.3 of Standing Orders and contains, in addition to the Minutes of Proceedings themselves, notice of any Bill introduced*, notice of any instrument or draft instrument or any other document laid before the Parliament; notice of any report of a committee, and any other matter that the Parliament, on a motion of the Parliamentary Bureau, considers should be included. (* The requirement to include notice of Bills introduced was only added to Rule 16.3 in January 2003. However, such notices have in practice been recorded in the Annex to the Minutes of Proceedings from the outset.) Note: (DT), which appears throughout the Journal, signifies a decision taken at Decision Time.

It is a task that has taken just over a year and seen my colleagues and me travelling the length and breadth of Scotland. It has been very hard work – but also very rewarding. Many of the issues are complex, but at the heart of this is our desire to find ways to help improve the lives of the people of Scotland. The reward has been in meeting so many people and discussing the issues with them – at formal evidence sessions, at informal meetings, and at engagement events across the country.

  • Proposed Direct Elections to National Health Service Boards (Scotland) Bill
    Direct Elections to National Health Service Boards (Scotland) Bill Consultation Document 1 Foreword My proposal for the Direct Elections to National Health Service Boards (Scotland) Bill was lodged in the Scottish Parliament on 8th May 2003. Since I was first elected I have been contacted by constituents who have expressed to me their concerns about changes made to the provision of local health services. Time and again I have heard from people who feel frustrated and angry about decisions made by NHS Boards which they perceive to be completely against the views of the local community. I know that these feelings are felt in communities across Scotland when changes are proposed to local health services. This document sets out in detail this proposal and why I think it is so important that members of the public are allowed directly to elect members of NHS Boards. I want to hear as many views as possible on the underlying principle of the Bill and the electoral system that would enable the public directly to elect National Health Service Board members. All comments submitted during this consultation process will be considered prior to the Bill being lodged in the Scottish Parliament. Thank you for your interest in the proposed Direct Elections to National Health Service Boards (Scotland) Bill. I hope that you will submit your opinions as part of this consultation process. Bill Butler MSP June 2004 2 What is the ‘Direct Elections to National Health Service Boards (Scotland) Bill'? The proposal, brought by Bill Butler, MSP for Glasgow Anniesland, will, if enacted, require direct elections, by members of the public, to the majority of places on National Health Service Boards in Scotland.
