The Official Report is a written record of public meetings of the Parliament and committees.
The Official Report search offers lots of different ways to find the information you’re looking for. The search is used as a professional tool by researchers and third-party organisations. It is also used by members of the public who may have less parliamentary awareness. This means it needs to provide the ability to run complex searches, and the ability to browse reports or perform a simple keyword search.
The web version of the Official Report has three different views:
Depending on the kind of search you want to do, one of these views will be the best option. The default view is to show the report for each meeting of Parliament or a committee. For a simple keyword search, the results will be shown by item of business.
When you choose to search by a particular MSP, the results returned will show each spoken contribution in Parliament or a committee, ordered by date with the most recent contributions first. This will usually return a lot of results, but you can refine your search by keyword, date and/or by meeting (committee or Chamber business).
We’ve chosen to display the entirety of each MSP’s contribution in the search results. This is intended to reduce the number of times that users need to click into an actual report to get the information that they’re looking for, but in some cases it can lead to very short contributions (“Yes.”) or very long ones (Ministerial statements, for example.) We’ll keep this under review and get feedback from users on whether this approach best meets their needs.
There are two types of keyword search:
If you select an MSP’s name from the dropdown menu, and add a phrase in quotation marks to the keyword field, then the search will return only examples of when the MSP said those exact words. You can further refine this search by adding a date range or selecting a particular committee or Meeting of the Parliament.
It’s also possible to run basic Boolean searches. For example:
There are two ways of searching by date.
You can either use the Start date and End date options to run a search across a particular date range. For example, you may know that a particular subject was discussed at some point in the last few weeks and choose a date range to reflect that.
Alternatively, you can use one of the pre-defined date ranges under “Select a time period”. These are:
If you search by an individual session, the list of 成人快手 and committees will automatically update to show only the 成人快手 and committees which were current during that session. For example, if you select Session 1 you will be show a list of 成人快手 and committees from Session 1.
If you add a custom date range which crosses more than one session of Parliament, the lists of 成人快手 and committees will update to show the information that was current at that time.

Is the nature of maternal OCD a barrier to women seeking mental health support, because they are worried about the consequences of admitting to some of their challenges as a result of having those intrusive thoughts?

Welcome, everyone, to the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee鈥檚 14th meeting of 2021. I have received no apologies, but a number of members join us virtually.
The first item on our agenda is a decision on whether to take item 3 in private. Do members agree to take that item in private?
Members indicated agreement.

I thank you all so much for your time and for the help that you have given us in looking at the issues from your perspectives. That is the end of that session and of our meeting.
At our next meeting, on 14 December, the committee will take further evidence on perinatal mental health and will undertake stage 2 proceedings on the Transvaginal Mesh Removal (Cost Reimbursement) (Scotland) Bill.
That concludes the public part of our meeting.

Please raise your hand if you want to come in on that. The issue has been flagged up to us. We have heard that infant feeding can be a trigger for mental health issues if support is not there. Joanne Smith, can we come to you first?
