To ask the Scottish Executive whether it sought advice from the European Commission on the procurement process for the new Southern General Hospital.
Answer
The procuring authority is NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (the board) and therefore the Scottish Government has not taken any advice from the European Commission.

To ask the Scottish Executive whether Netcare staff at the Scottish Regional Treatment Centre at Stracathro Hospital will be transferred to the NHS under the transfer of undertakings (protection of employment) regulations (TUPE) following the recent announcement about its return to the NHS.
Answer
The issue of whether TUPE rules apply is a legal matter and therefore a matter for NHS Tayside to confirm.
The decision by NHS Tayside to take over the management of Stracathro offers the opportunity for future employment within the NHS for Netcare staff, and for others within the community, with the skills and expertise needed to care for patients. This is one of the positive outcomes achieved by securing future service provision at Stracathro as part of NHS Tayside.

To ask the Scottish Executive how it is meeting the SNP manifesto commitment to provide pregnant women with free fruit.
Answer
In June 2008, we published
Healthy Eating Active Living: An action plan to improve diet, increase physical activity and tackle obesity. This included a commitment to broaden out the pledge to provide free fruit to pregnant women and pre-school children using the model of market-led pregnancy cards from the major supermarkets, to encompass maternal and infant nutrition generally and not limited to specific models.
In September 2008, I announced support of £19 million of new money available to NHS health boards over the period 2008-11 to improve the nutrition of women of childbearing age, pregnant women and children under five in disadvantaged areas. The broad criteria within which NHS boards have been asked to work include increasing uptake of the healthy start scheme, to ensure that everyone who is eligible to claim vouchers to exchange for fresh fruit, vegetables, milk and infant formula does so; supporting work on increasing breastfeeding rates and investing in training for health professionals. Years one and two of that funding have already been allocated to NHS boards. Details of the allocation were outlined in CEL 36 (2008) Nutrition of women of childbearing age, pregnant women and children under five in disadvantaged areas, which can be found at:

To ask the Scottish Executive how it is monitoring any increase in respite care.
Answer
The Scottish Government receives, and will continue to receive for 2009-10 and 2010-11, the data by local authority on the number of respite weeks provided for all age groups and by each category of overnight and daytime respite weeks. This is in relation to the concordat commitment of providing an additional 10,000 respite weeks. Both the Scottish Government and the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) are monitoring the respite weeks provision.
