PE886, by James McKillop on behalf of the Scottish Dementia Working Group, calls on the Parliament to urge the Government and NHS Quality Improvement Scotland to ensure the continued availability on prescription of a whole range of medications for use in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Do members have any views on the petition?The note that we have received indicates that many of the petitioner's concerns are now being addressed centrally through the dementia forum. I think that the petitioner is comfortable with the idea that, rather than keeping the petition live, the forum could be the vehicle to address those concerns. Given that advice, I suggest that we close the petition. If any issues remain unresolved, the petitioner has the right to resubmit a petition to the Parliament. However, it might be better to deal with the issue through the forum.Do members accept the recommendation that we close the petition?Members indicated agreement.

I thank members for their time on that.
