We have already heard oral evidence on PE1056, by Gordon, Jane and Steven McPherson, which calls on Parliament to urge the Government to introduce mandatory assessment tools relating to diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis. The petition also makes a range of recommendations on making people aware of the impact of DVT and of the early-warning signals.We are still awaiting information from NHS Quality Improvement Scotland, which has reported to the chief medical officer. We might also want to wait until the responsible minister responds. I know that Nanette Milne has inquired into the issue.

I agree with the convener. I received an e-mail from the petitioner, which came with a relevant paper. I wonder whether we could send that on.

We have received a series of responses from the petitioner. The information will be among our documents.

If it is additional information, you should pass it to the clerk.

Thank you. The petitioner certainly thinks that it is relevant.

Do any members have recommendations on what we should do with the petition? We will certainly want the Government's view on how its new policies address the issues that are raised by the petitioners. We can certainly continue our dialogue with the petitioners on DVT.Members indicated agreement.
