To ask the Scottish Executive what the estimated cost to the economy is of cable theft from the railway network in the last five years.

Answer · Keith Brown · 22 Feb 2011

As the Scottish Executive does not hold the information on the extent of the cancellations or delays, it is not possible to provide any estimated cost to the economy. Network Rail is funded to improve the ScotRail service Punctuality Performance Measurement to 92% by 2014, and cable theft is but one of a range of issues that it has to deal with to achieve this target.</p>

To ask the Scottish Executive what it is doing to increase the uptake of the flu vaccination by (a) older people and (b) other at-risk groups

Answer · Nicola Sturgeon · 24 Jan 2011

The Scottish Government runs an annual campaign to promote the seasonal flu vaccine and increase uptake amongst those who are eligible, including those aged over 65 and those with clinical at-risk conditions. This year, as usual, this has included television and radio adverts during October and November 2010; pharmacy posters; leaflets; engagement with over a 100 different stakeholder organisations; a national invitation letter for everyone over the age of 65, and a range of PR and on-line activity that has led to 77 separate pieces of press coverage across Scotland and over 40 on-line articles. A further series of radio and TV adverts commenced on 30 December 2010 to encourage more people in at-risk groups to come forward for vaccination.</b></p> <p >Uptake of the seasonal flu vaccine this year is currently good and continuing to increase.</p>
