General Question Time
Winter Weather (Protection of Vulnerable People)
Robison, Shona SNP Dundee City East Watch on SPTV

I am sure that the member is aware of the chief medical officer’s interest in the matter. This week, she has been very much engaged in looking at the analysis of the winter mortality figures and what lies behind them, and a lot of work has been done on that.

All the measures that I outlined, such as the plans that NHS boards have in place with their local authority colleagues, have a direct impact in protecting the most vulnerable. This year, those plans are far more integrated than they previously have been, and they will involve social care colleagues in ensuring that the most vulnerable can be supported during the winter.

Moreover, the general ready for winter campaign provides through the ready Scotland website some pertinent advice on how people can keep safe and warm at home, and the fuel poverty measures are of particular relevance to the most vulnerable. I am happy to write to Annabel Goldie if she would like further information.
