For example, HEBS have identified young men (18 to 30 years) as the target group for Scottish Mental Health Week (SMHW) 2002 and have distributed appropriate resource materials aimed at this group to NHS boards for local dissemination. HEBS is also supporting 15 small projects aimed at young men across Scotland through its Scottish Mental Health Week Small Projects Award Scheme 2002 and is running a seminar during Scottish Mental Health Week called Men and Mental Health.

Information and Statistics Division, a division of the Common Services Agency, is currently working on an Improving Mental Health Information Programme which is addressing the monitoring of non-fatal deliberate self-harm. It is also planned that the Framework for the Reduction of Suicide and Self-harm, described in the answer to question S1W-29436 today, will include provision to ensure the collection of appropriate information on suicide and self-harm and dissemination of the results to local areas.All answers to written parliamentary questions are available on the Parliament's website, the search facility for which can be found at http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/webapp/search_wa.

The Scottish Executive is preparing a Framework for the Reduction of Suicide and Self-harm, to be published later this year, and has consulted widely on the draft version. The framework will cover the risk factors related to suicide, identify groups most at risk, and highlight appropriate actions at both national and local levels.

The information requested could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.

The prosecutor in Scotland already has an unrestricted right of appeal against the grant of bail to an accused person.

We are currently in the process of reviewing the powers introduced in 1996 enabling the courts to impose aggravated sentences for offences committed while the offender was on bail. This review was announced in April 2000. To inform the review two research projects were planned. The first has been completed and the second is now under way. These will inform the later stages of the review which we aim to complete by the middle of 2003. While the research is under way it would be premature to draw any conclusions about the effectiveness of the new powers and what additional measures, if any, may be required.We have also noted the proposal in the UK Government's recently published white paper Justice for All to weight the court's discretion against granting bail to a defendant who has been charged with an imprisonable offence committed while on bail for another offence. We shall follow developments relating to that particular proposal with interest.

The Care Development Group has now disbanded. It met for the last time on 2 September 2001 to finalise its report, which was published on 14 September 2001.

As indicated in the answer given to question S1W-28252 today, the Scottish Executive Education Department is arranging discussion with representatives of local authorities about the applicability in Scotland of material issued recently by the Department for Education and Skills in England to supplement their guidance on the health and safety of pupils on educational visits. This material includes reference to the appointment of outdoor education advisers to oversee and monitor school trips.

The Cryptosporidium Directions 2002 (paragraph 3(1)(a)) requires Scottish Water to monitor their raw water sources for the presence of cryptosporidium and these data are collected to provide an indication of likely challenges to the treatment plant. This monitoring is upstream of the critical control point monitoring that is undertaken on the treatment works. There is no time period specified in the regulations for the results of surface water samples to be reported. The cryptosporidum directions prescribe time periods of 72 hours and 24 hours respectively, for routine and emergency samples of treated water to be analysed and reported.
