To ask the Scottish Government what information it has on how many NHS patients from Scotland have received treatment in hospitals in other parts of the (a) UK, (b) EU and (c) world in each year since 2007.
Answer
The following tables show the number of people from Scotland who have received elective or emergency treatment as an inpatient or day case in hospitals in other parts of the UK in each year since 1999. The data across the UK is not directly comparable due to differences in data definitions. Information on the number of people from Scotland treated outside the UK is not collected centrally.

To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S5W-24104 by Richard Lochhead on 18 July 2019, how many of the 80 additional counsellors have so far been recruited.

In the forthcoming academic year (2019-20) we will be investing, through the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) so that colleges and universities can start to recruit and make arrangements for enhanced counsellor provision across Scotland. This is the first year of delivering on our commitment to the sector of more than eighty additional counsellors over the next four years. We will work closely with the SFC to monitor the delivery of this commitment on a quarterly basis throughout the academic year.

To ask the Scottish Government what support is being provided to help identify and support school pupils with ADHD.
Answer
We want all children and young people, including those with ADHD, to receive the support needed to reach their full learning potential.
Education authorities and other agencies have duties under the Education (Additional Support for Learning) Act 2004 (as amended) to identify, provide for and review the additional support needs of their pupils, which includes those with ADHD. Education authorities can ask other agencies (including social work services, health boards and skills development Scotland) for help in carrying out their duties under the Act.

To ask the Scottish Government whether there are minutes of meetings of the Access Support Team that supports the Scottish Access Collaborative in relation to any conditions, and whether it will provide the minutes of meetings since 2015.
Answer
The Scottish Access Collaborative was launched in October 2017 therefore there are no minutes going back to 2015.
Both the Scottish Access Collaborative and Access Support Team sit within the same Directorate within Scottish Government which consists of performance and improvement staff who work closely with NHS Boards to ensure best practice is instilled across all hospital sites, and to share good practice and innovation across NHSScotland.
A key function of the Collaborative is the creation of national effective and clinically led specialty groups. A series of design workshops have been held for speciality groups to give their specialty area the opportunity to review their service against the Access Collaborative principles. Updates from these meetings are provided on the NES Turas Learn website. https://learn.nes.nhs.scot/
