Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee

Housing (Cladding Remediation) (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 30 January 2024

Willie Coffey

They are complementary, not conflicting, standards; they all seek the same outcome. Is that right?

Housing (Cladding Remediation) (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 30 January 2024

Willie Coffey

Are there any other views on the “alphabet soup”, as John Marr described it, that would provide some clarity to aid the committee’s understanding of the issue?

That is very helpful.

Housing (Cladding Remediation) (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 30 January 2024

Willie Coffey

Are there any other views on whether the terminology that we are using in the bill to define things is actively creating a barrier to quicker progress? It would also be helpful to hear if you have not heard that view.

Housing (Cladding Remediation) (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 30 January 2024

Willie Coffey

At previous committee meetings, there have been calls for buildings to be added to the cladding assurance register at a much earlier stage in the assessment and remediation process, instead of when the works are completed, which seems a little odd to me. Are there any views on that point?

I think that someone will be asking a question on the issue that you have raised. I have a final question. The assurance register is a snapshot in time. Should it be regularly updated? Should there be a record of any changes to a building, which would constitute another assessment?

Public Audit Committee

Section 22 Report: “The 2022/23 audit of NHS Forth Valley”

Meeting date: 25 January 2024

Willie Coffey

The responsibility to deliver healthcare services for the prison population falls to that health board, rather than being flattened out across Scotland.

I presume that it is still at stage 4. That has not changed, has it?

My other questions are about performance, the escalation measures and so on. You have mentioned several reports and a variety of recommendations from different people. Initially, in April 2022, HIS produced a set of nine requirements for the Forth Valley royal hospital. That was followed up, in the same year, by a further 11 requirements. Could you give us a little flavour of what those requirements are about? Why are they not being actioned, or are they being actioned now?
