PE1381, which was lodged by Gwen Garner on behalf of Action for Sick Children (Scotland), is on education provision for children and young persons who are absent from school due to illness. Members have a note by the clerks—paper PPC/S4/11/8/11—and submissions. I invite comments.

I would feel comfortable if the petition were closed. The Government has undertaken to conduct a review of the guidance, as sought by the petitioner, and has said that the petitioner will be invited to participate in the review as a key stakeholder. I think that the petition’s purpose has perhaps been achieved.
