That is excellent. We are at stage 2 of the bill process and we have proposed amendments from the Government. Would any of the witnesses prioritise any of those amendments or suggest anything that is missing or that the committee should pick up on in its scrutiny process?

That was the subject of my next question. Would NHS directors welcome that across the board?

I have a couple of separate questions. The question of where we are with Anne’s law has been raised by other panels of witnesses. There is an indication from other groups that we could move forward with that quickly—and it is so important. What are your views on that?

Fiona Davies, do you have anything to add?

That is helpful. It is something that you already promote, but legislation might help to cement it.

Does Maree Allison want to comment?

As no one else wants to come in, I will move to my next question.

Are you happy with the proposed amendments to children’s and justice services? Some previous witnesses set out a particular direction for us on that. Does anybody want to comment?

Where could we advance Anne’s law? The committee has heard from witnesses that the intent is there and that, from a policy perspective, people are making sure that that important contact with families is happening. Do we need to wait for the National Care Service (Scotland) Bill, or is there legislation that we could use or something that we could do to ensure that that is a right, rather than it being the case that there is just the potential to make it happen?
