Item of business
Cardiac Rehabilitation (Clinical Standards)
Like others, I congratulate Helen Eadie on securing time for what has been, although short, a very interesting debate focusing on a couple of specific issues. I had not anticipated that the debate might include the possibility of a Robertson-Baillie duet or the spectre of Michael Forsyth, but I am more than happy to acknowledge the work that Michael Forsyth undertook when he was in a position to do so.
