To ask the Scottish Executive whether Naloxone is available for use in police stations with custody cells and whether it will encourage increased availability.
Answer
The provision of medical care in police custody is determined at a local level, and each police force in Scotland has arrangements in place for the health care of those in their custody. New developments on the health, care and wellbeing of prisoners held temporarily in police custody facilities are currently being considered by the Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland Health and Medical Service Reference Group, on which the Scottish Government is represented.

To ask the Scottish Executive what action has been taken to implement the recommendations in Sailing in the Clyde Estuary - The Potential for Future Development.
Answer
Scottish Enterprise (SE) continues to support the development of the Sail Clyde Initiative. They are currently supporting the development of a Sail Clyde Action Plan through a number of facilitated workshops with the Sail Clyde Steering Group (which consists of a number of public and private sector organisations involved in sailing development). The Action Plan builds on the recommendations and priorities from the Sailing in the Clyde Estuary report and should be finalised by the end of June 2009.
VisitScotland have been meeting with Scottish Enterprise Ayrshire and the Sail Clyde Development Group since 2007. In conjunction with SE and the British Marine Federation they have agreed to undertake a piece of qualitative research funded largely by SE, into the market for sailing.

To ask the Scottish Executive when the on duty nurse programme being piloted by Lothian and Borders Police will be evaluated and when this is likely to be published.
Answer
The pilot is a contractual arrangement between Lothian and Borders Police and the National Health Service, and therefore, the Scottish Government has no plans to evaluate the programme. Regular updates on the pilot are given to the Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland Health and Medical Service Reference Group, on which the Scottish Government is represented.
