I welcome Alex Fergusson to the committee. He is here to speak to petition PE398. The recommendation is that we take no action on the petition until we have seen the health board progress reports on implementation of the short-life working group, on the understanding that the clerks pursue responses from health boards prior to the committee's next consideration of the petition. We would not close the petition until we receive further information.

I do not want to take up the committee's time. I could not ask the committee to do anything other than what you are doing, given that we have not yet received responses from the health boards, which were due on 19 March. There has not been an Executive announcement on that and I do not see how the committee could take any steps until that has happened.

I commend your pursuit of the issue.Does the committee agree to follow the recommended action?

Members indicated agreement.
