We move on to our consideration of petition PE572, which was submitted by Patrick and Jennifer Woods. They call on the Parliament to investigate whether there is adequate provision in Scotland of respite homes with no upper age limit for sufferers of multiple sclerosis and other disabling conditions.I direct the committee's attention in particular to the last paragraph on page 1 of the clerk's paper. Members will see that a map and data have been provided. The details have been lifted from the Scottish care homes census. The material has not been sent to the petitioners yet, which is something that we could do.

The record
4 contributionsIn the second paragraph of the letter from Jacqui Roberts of the Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care, she says that she should be able to supply us with the information that we have requested later on this year. Obviously, we will want to continue petition PE572 until we receive that information.
I suggest that we send the maps and data that we have received to the petitioners, along with a copy of Jacqui Roberts's letter of 25 February. Given that we are awaiting more information, I also suggest that we continue the petition. Are members agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
