I refer the member to the answer to question S3W-23156 on 6 May 2009. All answers to written parliamentary questions are available on the Parliament''s website, the search facility for which can be found at .

The amendments have been referred by the Privy Council to Scottish ministers for comments. We are currently considering the details of the university''s proposals before responding.

The Privy Council seeks Scottish ministers advice in light of applications it receives from individual institutions. The University of Stirling is the only Scottish institution which has applied to the Privy Council to make amendments to its academic staff employment statute. This has been referred to Scottish ministers who are currently considering the details of the proposals which were approved by the university''s governing body following consultation.

Scottish ministers are keen to see early resolution on replacing the current outdated employment statute for academic staff which is part of the governance arrangements of the pre 1992 Scottish universities. We are strongly supportive of the discussions which have been on-going for sometime at a national level between the eight pre 1992 universities and the University and College Union and are disappointed that it has not been possible to reach an agreed position on a revised statute.

This question was answered in the Chamber. The answer can be viewed in the Official Report using the following link:

Universities, as autonomous bodies, are responsible for seeking to make changes to their own governance arrangements and ministers have no powers to direct them. However, the Privy Council seeks Scottish ministers advice on these matters and in considering these ministers will take account of all views expressed on any proposed changes.

Copies of the requested data are available from the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (Bib. number 47914).

The Scottish Government has accepted Lord Sutherland''s 12 recommendations in full and these are being taken forward alongside a wider package of measures we are developing in collaboration with local government and health service partners.

The government''s National Performance Framework focuses all of government and public services on a single overarching common purpose and provides clarity through a set of purpose targets and 15 National Outcomes that describe a 10-year vision of the kind of Scotland we want to create.

The interests of older people are reflected in a number of the National Outcomes. Full details of the outcomes the government wants to achieve and how well Scotland is progressing in pursuit of these aims can be found on the Scotland Performs website. Beneath the national level, strategic local priorities are aligned to the 15 National Outcomes and are set out in Single Outcome Agreements prepared by each local authority working with Community Planning Partners (CPPs).

The government recognises that other activity supports the achievement of the Purpose and National Outcomes. Where Community Care outcomes are concerned there is a National Outcomes Framework for Community Care Services which includes measures and targets relevant specifically to improving the quality of systems and processes which support delivery of outcomes for older people and other community care clients. All CPPs have been encouraged to use the framework as a basis for assessing and presenting progress towards more effective joint delivery of community care services and better outcomes for service users.
