The first of the current petitions is PE400, on the provision of social work services to deaf and hard of hearing people. The petitioner calls on the Scottish Parliament to investigate the matter and take the necessary steps to ensure that local authorities throughout Scotland ensure that there is adequate provision of social work services to deaf and hard of hearing people in their catchment areas.The committee considered responses from the Scottish Executive and South Lanarkshire Council at its meeting on 16 December 2001 and noted that the concerns raised by the petitioner had been addressed by South Lanarkshire Council. The committee agreed to copy the responses that had been received to the petitioner and to ask whether they were content with the action taken by the council. No response has been received from the petitioner, despite a number of reminders being sent and the petitioner being advised that in the absence of a response the committee may proceed to close its consideration of the petition. Are members content that we close the petition and inform the petitioner accordingly?Members indicated agreement.
