Meeting of the Parliament 17 May 2012 : Thursday, May 17, 2012
Jean Urquhart I thank the cabinet secretary for her reply. It has, in fact, covered my supplementary, which was going to be about that model being used in other rural areas of Scotland.

10. To ask the Scottish Government what the outcome is of the trial of using retained staff to provide ambulance cover in the Shetland Islands. (S4O-01018)



Education and Culture Committee 15 May 2012 : Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Jean Urquhart I will come back on that point first, in order that I do not forget it. The reality is that the majority of looked-after children are not in the category that you talk about. Professionals are now looking at other areas of achievement for some of the children, so that it is not all about getting one...

Education and Culture Committee 15 May 2012 : Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Jean Urquhart (Highlands and Islands) (SNP) The committee has recently taken evidence in relation to concerns about the achievements of looked-after children, whether they are looked-after at home, or by kinship carers, foster parents or local authorities. I am particularly interested that an assumption was made that each looked-after child w...

Meeting of the Parliament 10 May 2012 : Thursday, May 10, 2012
Jean Urquhart (Highlands and Islands) (SNP) I congratulate David Thompson on enlightening me and others about the Dewar report.

Education and Culture Committee 08 May 2012 : Tuesday, May 08, 2012
Jean Urquhart That sounds practical.



Education and Culture Committee 08 May 2012 : Tuesday, May 08, 2012
Jean Urquhart (Highlands and Islands) (SNP) My question is not about the speed of the process. What will our local area support team look like? Will it be made up mostly of council officials or officers?



Meeting of the Parliament 02 May 2012 : Wednesday, May 02, 2012
Jean Urquhart (Highlands and Islands) (SNP) Our big five—Scotland’s five national performing companies—with their singing, dancing, music and storytelling to gladden the heart, are things of which we ought to be incredibly proud. As with most good things, there have been ordinary folk with determination and commitment behind each of those org...

Meeting of the Parliament 02 May 2012 : Wednesday, May 02, 2012
Jean Urquhart Does the minister agree with me that, to understand precisely the service that is required, it will be necessary to fully consult all the other rescue services and the maritime industries, that that would be best done by the Scottish Government and that funding should be returned from Westminster to...

Meeting of the Parliament 02 May 2012 : Wednesday, May 02, 2012
Jean Urquhart (Highlands and Islands) (SNP)

9. To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking in light of the United Kingdom Government’s decision not to renew the contract for the emergency towing vessel service in the Pentland Firth and other northern waters. (S4O-00947)
