Continued Petitions
Congenital Heart Disease Patients (Care) (PE1446)
Good morning everyone, and welcome to the fourth meeting in 2016 of the Public Petitions Committee. I ask everyone to switch off electronic devices, telephones and so on, because they interfere with the sound system. We have apologies from David Torrance, and I welcome Jim Eadie, his committee substitute. We consider continued petitions this morning. PE1446, which was brought by Dr Liza Morton on behalf of Scottish adult congenital heart disease patients, is on Scottish standards for the care of adult congenital heart disease patients. Members have all the documentation that we have received. We have been pursuing the issue for some time. The petitioner has been involved in the consultation on standards, and it looks as though we are awaiting the report in that regard. I do not think that there is much more that we can do with the petition. Do members agree that we can close it?
