Continued Petitions
Covid-19 Vaccinations (PE2086)
Very briefly, convener, if I may. First, I thank the committee for all the work that it has done on the petition. It is without doubt due to the fact that the committee got involved in the petition that we are in the situation that we are in now. I appreciate the extra money that the Government has put forward and that the committee’s scrutiny has driven NHS Highland to make sure that all affected children, bar a small few—most of whom do not want insulin pumps—have got insulin pumps. I think that this is a victory for the committee, and I thank you and your team for doing that. I fully understand why you would now close the petition, convener.
