The Mental Health (Care & Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 specifies that a Compulsory Treatment Order (CTO) can only be granted by the Mental Health Tribunal Scotland (MHTS) and once an application has been received by a Mental Health Officer.

A CTO will expire after 6 months if it is not renewed, however a Responsible Medical Officer (RMO) can renew the order without variation and without referring it to MHTS. Renewal is for a period of 6 months and thereafter for periods of more than 12 months. Where a CTO has not been referred to MHTS, it must be reviewed by MHTS every 2 years.

The Scottish Government does not hold this information.

The Mental Health Tribunal Scotland is an independent organisation which reports to Scottish Ministers and whose aim is to provide a responsive, accessible, independent and impartial service when making decisions on the compulsory care and treatment of people with mental disorders.

On 29 July 2016 we published an engagement paper on our proposed framework and priorities to transform mental health in Scotland. The engagement paper states that, in addition to transforming mental health, progress on the priorities set out in the paper will also contribute to reducing death by suicide, and that we will reflect this in the final Mental Health Strategy. We will also build on these priorities in a separate Suicide Prevention Strategy which we will publish in 2017.

The Scottish Government does not hold the information requested however the Mental Welfare Commission is an independent organisation, which reports to Scottish Ministers and was set up to find out whether individual care and treatment is in line with the law and good practice.

As part of this role they produce statistics and analysis on the use of mental health and incapacity legislation. They have a statutory responsibility to monitor the use of the Mental Health Act, and their website contains statistical reports its use in 2014-15.

The Breathing Space telephone and web service for people experiencing low mood, depression and anxiety is run by NHS24. NHS24 hold the information requested; the question should therefore be addressed to NHS24.

The following A702 road safety schemes have been constructed this financial year:

Easter Howgate which was completed in April 2016 – This scheme involved the removal of a parking lay-by and a change in camber to the carriageway to reduce the possibility of vehicles leaving the carriageway. The scheme cost was £175k.

Carlops gateway treatment was partially completed in June 2016 – This scheme involves upgrading the gateway road markings and relocating two vehicle activated signs. The gateway road markings are complete and the relocation of the signs is programmed for later in 2016.

The following A702 road safety schemes are planned:

Garvald Bus Layby provision – This scheme involves the installation of a new bus lay-by and associated facilities (bus/ shelter) and will include resurfacing due to the change in alignment. This will be constructed in late summer/autumn 2016.

Biggar 20mph provision – This scheme was identified as part of Transport Scotland’s Pilot 20mph areas. The promotion of the pilot 20 mph limits proposed for the trunk road network is intended to support road safety generally, but target safety benefits for vulnerable road users in particular. We held an exhibition to consult with the community on our proposals. The next stage is to formally promote the orders for the proposed changes through the traffic regulation order statutory process. Before promoting the order we will consult with the community council and other stakeholders to gain their views now the proposals are finalised.

Hillend – We are currently looking to promote a no waiting/loading/unloading traffic regulation order at Hillend to improve junction visibility, reduce indiscriminate parking and improve traffic flow through the A720 Lothianburn junction. We are also considering feedback from the community regarding the installation of an uncontrolled crossing traffic island near the chiropractor clinic on the A702.

In addition to the previously completed works this year on the A702 there are a number of maintenance schemes programmed for the A702 for the remainder of this financial year. These include resurfacing schemes at:

North of Boghall Farm

Roman Road

Silverburn

Joppa Wood

West Water

Candymill

Biggar High Street

Douglas Hill

Wandel Railway Bridge

Duneatonfoot

Lawhead farm

North of Flotterstone

Lamington Toll House

Lamington Kennels

In addition to these resurfacing schemes there is a £185,000 Structural Maintenance scheme programmed for Hazlieburn to Rutherford.

As always, these programmed works are subject to available budgets and competing priorities across the network.

The A71 is not a trunk road and as such is the responsibility of the local authority.

Information on how many cancer patients have been offered cryopreservation of (a) eggs, (b) sperm and (c) embryos in each year since 1999 is not held centrally. An expert Gametes Group will shortly begin work to look at protocols for patients who require fertility preservation.
