PE886 is from James McKillop, on behalf of the Scottish Dementia Working Group. The petition calls on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government and NHS Quality Improvement Scotland to ensure the continued availability on prescription of various medications—even when they are printed I cannot pronounce them—for use in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Members have copies of the written submissions relating to the petition in their committee papers. Do members have any suggestions on how to proceed with the petition?

We could write to the Scottish Government, asking for its views in the light of the fact that it is going to produce some proposals on prescribing.
