The question
To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-12945 by Allan Wilson on 14 February 2001, whom sportscotland intends to appoint as consultants in connection with the review of aspects of their organisation and operations; why any such appointment is being made by sportscotland rather than by the Executive; what the cost of this review will be, and how much will be paid to any consultants appointed.
The answer
In view of the importance of sport within the Executive's overall programme, and notwithstanding the wider review of NDPBs being carried out by the Executive, we agreed with sportscotland's assessment that the early review of aspects of their organisation and effectiveness would ensure the best possible contribution to that overall agenda. Following the development of a remit in discussion with the Executive, sportscotland has appointed KPMG to assist in the conduct of the review. The review is being undertaken in close partnership with the Executive and we shall oversee the consideration and implementation of recommendations for improvement identified in the review.The appointment was made in consultation with the Executive. The level of fees to be paid to the consultants is a matter for sportscotland.
