General Question Time
Accessible Vehicles and Equipment Scheme
Moodie, Laura Green South Scotland Watch on SPTV

Does the cabinet secretary recognise the distress that is being caused to constituents, including a disabled veteran in my region, by the continued uncertainty around the scheme? Will the Scottish Government commit to a clear timetable and consultation process so that people in Scotland are not left in limbo about a service that is critical to their independence, access to work and family life?
