Answer · Linda Fabiani · 5 Feb 2009

To ask the Scottish Executive what assessment it has made of the importance of the insurance sector to the Scottish economy.

Answer · John Swinney · 18 Dec 2008

In its annual reporting process, the Financial Services Advisory Board (FISAB) publishes details of the financial services industry in Scotland, including both the life and pensions and general insurance sectors. In its 2008 Annual Report, FiSAB reported that Scotland''s financial services industry as a whole contributes around £7 billion to the Scottish Gross Domestic Product and 86,000 jobs in total. Employment in the Life and Pensions sector in 2006 accounted for 16% of financial services employment in Scotland with general insurance employing 7%.

To ask the Scottish Executive what mechanisms are in place to assist in the development of long distance footpaths. 11 Dec 2008 · General Question

To ask the Scottish Executive what mechanisms are in place to assist in the development of long distance footpaths.

Answer · Michael Russell · 11 Dec 2008

The Countryside (Scotland) Act 1967 provides statutory powers for the designation of national long distance routes. In the past Scottish Natural Heritage has been able to provide some financial support for these projects. Going forward, local authorities will have the opportunity to make funds available as they develop access opportunities in their areas in line with their single outcome agreements and with their core path plans. There are also opportunities for land managers and community groups to secure support for path projects under the Scotland Rural Development Programme.

To ask the Scottish Executive how much is spent on wages for carers of disabled people and whether it is aware that use of an assistance dog, such as provided by Canine Partners, can reduce this by more than a third.

Answer · Shona Robison · 30 Apr 2008

This information is not held centrally. In the following table, information is presented on the number of local authority social care workers who work directly with adults in each salary band. This information cannot be broken down to extract those who work specifically with disabled people. In June 2008, information on salary bands will be presented in the statistical publication Staff Of Scottish Local Authority Social Work Services, available on the Scottish Government website. It is for employers to decide how to make the most efficient use of their resources in providing care for disabled people, including deciding whether to use assistance dogs. <table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 > <tr > <td width=94 rowspan=2 valign=bottom > Main Job Function </td> <td width=506 colspan=8 valign=bottom > Salary (£) </td> </tr> <tr > <td width=62 valign=bottom > <10,000 </td> <td width=60 valign=bottom > 10,000-13,125 </td> <td width=60 valign=bottom > >13,125-17,500 </td> <td width=60 valign=bottom > >17,500-21,875 </td> <td width=60 valign=bottom > >21,875-26,250 </td> <td width=60 valign=bottom > >26,250-35,000 </td> <td width=60 valign=bottom > Not Known </td> <td width=84 valign=bottom > Total </td> </tr> <tr > <td width=94 valign=top > Routine Care/Support Work (Other than Home Care, Care Home and AHP assistance) </td> <td width=62 valign=top > 96 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 131 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 193 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 324 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 46 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 5 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 363 </td> <td width=84 valign=top > 1,158 </td> </tr> <tr > <td width=94 valign=top > Home Care </td> <td width=62 valign=top > 525 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 3,052 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 597 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 0 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 0 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 1 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 1399 </td> <td width=84 valign=top > 5,574 </td> </tr> <tr > <td width=94 valign=top > Routine Care/Support Work (Care Home) </td> <td width=62 valign=top > 46 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 74 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 247 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 108 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 11 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 0 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 17 </td> <td width=84 valign=top > 503 </td> </tr> <tr > <td width=94 valign=top > Other Class 2 Care Work </td> <td width=62 valign=top > 7 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 59 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 115 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 15 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 0 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 1 </td> <td width=60 valign=top > 17 </td> <td width=84 valign=top > 214 </td> </tr> <tr
