Public Policies: Barry Winetrobe ISBN: 1 903903 09 2 Introduction James Mitchell The policy agenda for the last quarter in Scotland was distinct from that south of the border while there was some overlap. Matters such as identity cards and foundation hospitals are figuring prominently north of the border though long-running issues concerned with health and law and order were important. In health, differences exist at policy level but also in terms of rhetoric – with the Health Minister refusing to refer to patients as ‘customers’. This suggests divergence without major disputes in devolutionary politics. An issue which has caused problems across Britain and was of significance this quarter was the provision of accommodation for asylum seekers as well as the education of the children of asylum seekers. Though asylum is a retained matter, the issue has devolutionary dimension as education is a devolved matter. The other significant event was the challenge to John Swinney’s leadership of the Scottish National Party. A relatively unknown party activist challenged Swinney resulting in a drawn-out campaign over the Summer which culminated in a massive victory for Swinney at the SNP’s annual conference.

    The Scottish Parliament and Scottish Parliament I nfor mation C entre l ogo Scottish Parliament Fact sheet MSPs by NHS Board 12 January 2016 MSPs: Current Series This fact sheet provides a list of MSPs who represent constituencies or regions within the boundaries of each of the NHS Boards in Scotland. The health boards are listed in alphabetical order, followed by the name of the MSPs, their party and the constituency or region they represent. The boundaries of health boards and parliamentary constituencies do not coincide, so some constituencies overlap into two or more health boards. Where this happens the MSP representing the constituency will be listed under all relevant health boards. Similarly, where the boundary of a Scottish Parliament region overlaps into two or more health boards all of the MSPs elected to represent that region will be listed under all relevant health boards.

  • Rt Hon. Alex Salmond MSP First Minister of Scotland “Scotland's Place in Europe” College of Europe Brugge 28 April 2014
    CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY – EMBARGOED UNTIL 1330 CEST / 1230 BST Rt Hon. Alex Salmond MSP First Minister of Scotland “Scotland’s Place in Europe” College of Europe Brugge 28 April 2014 1 CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY – EMBARGOED UNTIL 1330 CEST / 1230 BST It’s a great pleasure to speak here today - to this audience in Brugge, and to those of you watching from the College’s campus in Natolin in Poland. The College of Europe was the first university to offer postgraduate studies and training in European affairs. It continues to be one of the best places anywhere in the world to study the subject – which is why the Scottish Government funds three scholarships every year for outstanding students from Scotland. Brugge is a city which has had close links with Scotland for centuries. As one of the great commercial centres of Europe in the Middle Ages, Brugge was at times the staple or entry port for wool being exported from Scotland to the rest of Europe. A community of Scottish merchants settled here more than 700 years ago. It’s just one indication of the way in which Scotland’s prosperity over centuries has been bound up with the ability to trade, travel and work in Europe. And just as Scots have always worked and lived in Europe, so there are now 160,000 people from other EU states who have chosen to live and work in Scotland. They make a massive contribution to Scotland’s economy and culture. These European connections are an essential part of who we are. Scotland has always been a nation that looks outwards – to Wales, England, Ireland and Northern Ireland; to the other nations of Europe; and right across the globe.

  • Proposed Abolition of the Tay Bridge and Forth Road Bridge Tolls
    Statement of Reasons by Bruce Crawford MSP In relation to my draft proposal for a Bill to abolish the Tay Bridge and Forth Road Bridge Tolls, I do not consider that consultation on the draft is required for the following reasons: The Forth and Tay Road Bridges are now the only remaining road bridges in Scotland where a toll is collected. Toll bridges have been the subject of a major Government review. As a consequence, I am persuaded that there has been adequate opportunity for key stakeholders and the public to consider the issues relating to my proposal. I also consider that the arguments for and against my proposal have been fully explored within this review. The following paragraphs outline the progress of the Scottish Executives Review.. The Scottish Executive’s Transport White Paper published on 16 June 2004 outlined the approach for the review of existing bridge tolls in Scotland. This major review was conducted in two stages. Phase One of the review focused on the tolling regimes on the Forth, Tay, Erskine and Skye road bridges. The review examined environmental, economic and accessibility issues as well as traffic trends and alternative tolling regimes. The Phase One consultation began in July 2004 and a report was published in December 2004 “Tolled Bridges Review: Phase One Report”. 1 This led to the removal of tolls from the Skye Bridge from 21 December 2004. The Phase Two consultation began in April 2005. The resulting report, “Tolled Bridges Report – Phase Two Report” 2 was published in March 2006. It considered the broader operational and management issues associated with each toll bridge in Scotland.
