Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee

Pam Duncan-Glancy

I am not sure that I suggested a third space, but I take the point about privacy. Thank you.

Thank you. Finally, Sharon Cowan—

Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee

Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 14 June 2022

Pam Duncan-Glancy

Thank you for the evidence that you gave us in advance on the work that you have done in the area, and for your answers to our questions so far this morning. I want to ask you about the interaction between the service and the gender recognition certificate.

Greater Glasgow and Clyde NHS Board submitted information to the committee, and it has said that it is important to highlight

“the separation between successful application for a GRC and ... robust governance standards for gender identity treatment.â€

For clarity, will you set out what that separation is, whether there is an interaction and, if so, where that is? I note that you touched on that a moment ago in your answer to my colleague Pam Gosal. Will you also set out where, if at all, a gender recognition certificate comes into play or is relevant in the gender reassignment protocol?

Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Pam Duncan-Glancy

Sorry. I will try to remind myself. I may be corrected by the Official Report, but I think that I asked about the point that Greater Glasgow and Clyde NHS Board made that it is important to clarify and highlight

“the separation between successful application for a GRC and ... robust governance standards for gender identity treatment.â€

A lot of the evidence that the committee has had has been about both aspects of a trans person’s life. I want to get your view on the separation between the certificate and the gender identity treatment in the NHS.

Is there an example in international law that you could suggest to us?

Social Justice and Social Security Committee

Medium-term Financial Strategy and Resource Spending Review

Meeting date: 9 June 2022

Pam Duncan-Glancy

I will push a little bit further on that. Do you see a direct correlation between the outcomes in the child poverty delivery plan and the spending review? Can you see where the money is being allocated and whether or not it is likely to be enough?

Social Justice and Social Security Committee

Subordinate Legislation

Meeting date: 9 June 2022

Pam Duncan-Glancy

I have a short question. Minister, will you commit to come back to the committee in a year’s time to give us an update on this particular part of the transfer?

Social Justice and Social Security Committee

Subordinate Legislation

Meeting date: 9 June 2022

Pam Duncan-Glancy

I would be keen to have such a session, following on from my colleague Natalie Don’s points around an analysis of how case transfer has impacted on individuals. I am not sure whether that will be available in a year but, if it is, a session on that would be helpful.

Social Justice and Social Security Committee

Medium-term Financial Strategy and Resource Spending Review

Meeting date: 9 June 2022

Pam Duncan-Glancy

Good morning and thank you for the information you have given in advance and for your answers so far. It is very helpful to have things set out in the way that you have done, particularly for someone like me who finds some of the detail quite complicated, so I thank you.

I want to explore some of the options that are available to the Government. Some of this will touch on the forecast and possibly a little bit on the gaps that were mentioned in the previous discussion.

You said that some of the funding decisions around social security will mean that the pressures on other areas are significant. Could you set out your view on what other options were available to the Government to balance the books on social security?

Medium-term Financial Strategy and Resource Spending Review

Meeting date: 9 June 2022

Pam Duncan-Glancy

I appreciate that. You gave a similar answer earlier, but when you mentioned youth employment I thought that maybe I had worded it badly the first time around and there was more, but I take that point. Thank you for that.

My final question is about cost of living issues and, in particular, the Scottish Government’s child poverty delivery plan. Does the spending review and your forecasting take account of the money that will be required to deliver that plan? Can you see anything in the Government’s plans that shows that there will be money attached to each of the outcomes within the delivery plan?
