    Humza Yousaf – 2021 Comments on NHS Dental Services in Scotland

    The comments made by Humza Yousaf, the Scottish Health Minister, on 10 June 2021.

    The remobilisation of the NHS is one of our number one priorities and the Scottish Government remains committed to ensuring that NHS dental services emerge from this pandemic well-placed to care for the oral health of the population.

    This new funding is an important step in ensuring the continued remobilisation of NHS dental services and to ensure more patients can be seen safely. We will also continue to fund free PPE for the dental sector and, from July, we will increase it by up to 50 per cent.

    We are continuing to work with the sector to provide much-needed support to fully remobilise dental services.

    Humza Yousaf – 2021 Comments on Expanding Vaccine Rollout to International Students

    The comments made by Humza Yousaf, the Scottish Health Secretary, on 11 June 2021.

    There is a huge amount of work going on to ensure that everyone is able to get vaccinated. This is crucial to the success of the programme and our efforts to bring the virus under control.

    Based on the latest data, we estimate there could be around 65,000 international students studying in Scotland in the next academic year. I am pleased to confirm they will be included in our national vaccination programme.

    Of course many will be from countries where there is a mature vaccination system and they will already be fully or partially vaccinated. However, some may not yet have been vaccinated or may still require a second dose and we are currently working with the Universities and Colleges Scotland as well as local health boards to firm up plans for these students.

    We continue to urge everyone to take up their appointment for a vaccine when it is offered and remember the second dose offers greater and longer protection against the virus.

    Mairi Gougeon – 2021 Comments on the Seafood Industry and Brexit

    The comments made by Mairi Gougeon, the Scottish Rural Affairs Secretary, on 11 June 2021.

    Six months on from Brexit and the seafood sector is still trying to work through the red tape and barriers to trade imposed by a damaging and last minute deal.

    At this crucial point, where we are starting to see some hope of recovery there remains a strong need for a forum where Ministers from the UK and Scottish Governments, and industry, continue working together to minimise the impact of changes to import regulations.

    Given the significance of seafood to our national economy and our coastal communities, we are continuing to do all we can to protect the livelihoods of those working in the industry.

    We have provided support through the Seafood Producers Resilience Fund to more than 800 vessels and 26 aquaculture businesses impacted by COVID-19 and Brexit.

    Funding has also been used to support ports and harbours who have lost landing fees, while welfare advice and Brexit advisers to assist businesses navigate through the new processes have also been made available.

  • Preet Gill – 2021 Comments on Donating Surplus Vaccine Doses

    Preet Gill – 2021 Comments on Donating Surplus Vaccine Doses

    The comments made by Preet Gill, the Shadow International Development Secretary, on 11 June 2021.

    It’s taken the government months to finally begin setting out a plan to donate surplus doses of Covid-19 vaccines to low-income countries. Once again, this Conservative government has gone heavy on rhetoric and light on detail.

    To limit deaths and the chances of new variants we need to speed up the proposed timeline and produce a sustainable, fully-funded strategy. Failure to do so would be unforgivable.

    That’s why, in addition to donations from wealthy countries, Labour has set out a 10-point plan to produce and distribute enough coronavirus vaccines for the whole world and put in place the tools we need to fight future pandemics.

  • Bill Esterson – 2021 Comments on Trade Safeguards on Steel

    Bill Esterson – 2021 Comments on Trade Safeguards on Steel

    The comments made by Bill Esterson, the Shadow International Trade Minister, on 11 June 2021.

    This is a deeply disappointing – if sadly unsurprising – recommendation from an organisation that is fundamentally flawed in its composition and its remit and has simply not given sufficient weight to the implications of this verdict for steelworkers, their families, and the communities that rely on that industry.

    The Government will say their only option is now to accept this recommendation, but that is simply not true. They must instead accept Labour’s offer to work together in the national interest and come forward with emergency legislation, which we will support, to amend the regulations and allow Britain’s steel safeguards to be maintained in full.

    That is the only responsible and acceptable course of action to protect the British steel industry and the tens of thousands of jobs it supports.
