Awaiting an answer.

To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide the most recent figures on the disability employment gap in Scotland.

Answer · Richard Lochhead · 24 Mar 2026

The latest calendar year estimates available from the Office for National Statistics Annual Population Survey, which we use to measure the disability employment gap, are for January to December 2024. The January to December 2025 estimates will be published on 29 April 2026 as part of the Scottish Government’s Scotland’s Labour Market Insights publication.

To ask the Scottish Government what progress it has made towards halving the disability employment gap by 2038, and whether it remains on track to meet this target.

Answer · Richard Lochhead · 24 Mar 2026

We are making progress to meet our commitment to halve the disability employment gap by 2038 to 18.7 p.p. The disability employment rate gap is estimated to have reduced by 5.8 percentage points (p.p.) from 37.4 p.p. in January to December 2016 (our baseline year) to 31.5 p.p. in January to December 2024, and the interim milestone to increase the employment rate for disabled people to 50 per cent by 2023 was met one year early in 2022. Between 2018 and 2024 the Workplace Equality Fund (WEF) provided over £3.1 million funding to 71 projects to reduce labour market barriers for priority groups - providing support, training and advice on workplace culture, to enhance retention and progression of disabled staff.We have also developed a Fair Work digital resource hub, designed to provide information and signpost to support on the implementation of fair work practices within organisations across Scotland. This includes information on inclusive recruitment and reasonable adjustments for disabled employees. We have provided investment of £5 million in 2025-26 for the delivery of Specialist Employability Support in every Local Authority area, and this is protected in our draft budget for 2026-27. This budget ensures every Local Employability Partnership has funding to implement place and train approaches to support for disabled people and people with long term health conditions.

Answer · Jenny Gilruth · 24 Mar 2026

The information requested is included in the National Improvement Framework Interactive Evidence Report (NIFIER). This can be accessed via the following link: National Improvement Framework Interactive Evidence ReportTo download the data go to the Data tab. Under Select Outcome choose "NIF Key Measures" and under Select Measure choose "Percentage of secondary school leavers in a positive initial destination".Currently there is only LA level data published for this indicator for 2023-24. There is a planned update to the NIFIER on 14 April 2026 and at this point data will be added for 2024-25 and earlier years.

To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide details of the funding allocated to the Techscaler programme that has supported companies headquartered in each local authority area, since 2022.

Answer · Kate Forbes · 19 Mar 2026

The Techscaler programme does not directly invest in businesses as it is our national programme for creating, developing and scaling tech startups. Members can access the national network of tailored education, mentorship, investment access, community infrastructure, and international opportunities available through the programme. A fuller breakdown of regional participation has recently been published in the Techscaler Annual Report 2025.

To ask the Scottish Government what dosage is specified in the national clinical pathway for responsiveness testing with the drug sapropterin in individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) in Scotland, and whether that pathway aligns with the recommendations of the British Inherited Metabolic Disease Group (BIMDG).

Answer · Jenni Minto · 11 Mar 2026

In Scotland, the national clinical pathway for sapropterin use in individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) applies the UK best-practice consensus guidelines developed by the British Inherited Metabolic Disease Group (BIMDG). This ensures a consistent approach to dosing and assessment of treatment response across the UK’s metabolic services.The pathway specifies a starting dose of 10 mg per kilogram of body weight per day for the period of responsiveness testing.The decision to prescribe a medicine, and which medicine to prescribe, is entirely for the clinician in charge of a person’s care, having taken into account their clinical condition, safety and any relevant clinical guidance.

To ask the Scottish Government what the estimated cost of addressing school maintenance backlogs has been in each local authority area in each of the last five years.

Answer · Jenny Gilruth · 17 Mar 2026

The Scottish Government does not hold this information. Local authorities have statutory responsibility for maintaining their school estate, including determining the investment needed to address maintenance backlogs.However, the latest School Estate Statistics, published in September 2025, show that the proportion of schools in “good” or “satisfactory” condition has reached a record 92%, a substantial rise from 62.7% in 2007 when this Government first took office. We are driving further improvement by providing significant ongoing investment to local authorities through the £2 billion Learning Estate Investment Programme.

To ask the Scottish Government, in Inverclyde, (a) how many school pupils aged 4 to 18 have been on waiting lists and (b) what the average waiting time has been for an assessment for additional support needs, in each of the last five academic years.

Answer · Jenny Gilruth · 17 Mar 2026

The information requested is not held centrally.Support should be put in place to meet a child or young person’s requirements based on need and not dependent on a formal diagnosis.Information on the number of pupils with additional support needs, planning approaches and types of need are collected and published within national statistics.Classes and pupils - Summary statistics for schools in Scotland 2024 - gov.scot

13 Mar 2026 Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill: Stage 3 (draft)

Over the past four days, it has been clear that a small number of MSPs have had a lot to say and a lot of MSPs have had not much to say. I include myself in that latter category of being in listening mode. Equally, a number of us will have…

13 Mar 2026 Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill: Stage 3 (draft)

I am eternally sympathetic to the notion that the Parliament should have as much say as possible in major change. We have amended other bills in a similar fashion. However, there is a technical niggle at the back of my mind: we do not know…

13 Mar 2026 Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill: Stage 3 (draft)

Can Stephen Kerr elicit which parts of the bill, as amended to date, relate to reserved matters? My understanding is that those have all been removed from the bill. If he could point to some such parts of the bill, I would be grateful.

11 Mar 2026 Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill: Stage 3 (draft)

My intervention follows on from the previous discussion and from other amendments about such hypothetical scenarios. I do not have a problem with the quite difficult conversations that we must have about the substance, the method and the i…

11 Mar 2026 Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill: Stage 3

I will keep this brief. This is the first time that I have spoken in these proceedings, although I have been following them intently. I suspect that, like me, all members are trying to do the right thing. Particularly due to having free vo…

4 Mar 2026 Ferries

I pay tribute to that great and incredible final speech from Ms Hyslop. It has been warmly received by members across the chamber, who clearly have a huge amount of respect for and value the time that she has spent in public service. The L…

4 Mar 2026 Ferries

Presiding Officer, I have been accused, over the years, of banging on about ferries in the chamber, and that is absolutely right. If you had told me 10 years ago, when I first spoke about ferries in the chamber, that the 23-year-old MV Cal…

3 Mar 2026 Ferguson Marine (draft)

I absolutely welcome any intention to give the yard some work. It has cross-party support and the yard has been crying out for it for a number of years, so any move towards that is positive and I am grateful for it.However, I feel a little…

3 Mar 2026 Ferries and Ports (draft)

I welcome the move to take Ardrossan port into public ownership. It is a good move, and I commend the efforts of local campaigners, who have been fighting for that for some years.However, the reality is that Ardrossan remains a difficult p…

3 Mar 2026 Topical Question Time (draft)

I thank the cabinet secretary for that update. It is important that we are on guard for an increase in antisemitism and Islamophobia in Scotland.Although most people would welcome regime change in Iran, it is also true that international c…

3 Mar 2026 Topical Question Time (draft)

I thank the cabinet secretary for that helpful update. I do not think that any of us is in any doubt that the Iranian regime oppresses minorities, suppresses and murders peaceful protesters and, indeed, threatens the very existence of its …
