Martyn Day: ...that if we are going to improve people’s diet, and local companies that are rising to the reformulation challenge should be commended for their efforts. More needs to be done, however. Minister Jenni Minto announced in Holyrood last month that the Scottish Government will undertake a consultation on regulations to restrict promotions of food high in fat, sugar and salt. That is a vital...
Sandesh Gulhane: ...even in the Scottish Government’s supervision of that service. Let us consider what the health board and the relevant Government minister have said. On 11 May, I asked eight formal questions of Jenni Minto, the Minister for Public Health and Women’s Health, in order to ascertain specific data on a range of unknowns, including the number of children who had been diagnosed with serious...

Jenni Minto: The member will be aware that, in March this year, the previous Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care approved the plan for integrated maternity services across the north of Scotland, with consultant-led obstetric services at Dr Gray’s hospital, and that the plan was supported with an initial investment of up to £6.6 million. Although model 4 is not continuing as previously outlined...
Jenni Minto: We are working apace to move forward with a modernised system of payment reform that will provide longer-term sustainability for the sector and encourage dentists to provide NHS care. The new system provides greater clinical freedom to dentists through a high-trust, low-bureaucracy model. The new policy prospectus, which the Government set out on 18 April, further commits us to sustained and...
Jenni Minto: The new policy prospectus, which the Government set out on 18 April, commits us to sustained and improved equitable national access to NHS dentistry by 2026. The previous Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care recently confirmed the continuation of the bridging payment to 31 October 2023, while we prepare for the implementation of payment reform. Payment reform will comprise a new,...
Jenni Minto: A co-ordinated approach is often not possible as dental services in Scotland operate on a fee for item of service model, which is entirely different from the contract model that is used in England and Wales. However, where we identify areas of mutual concern, such as workforce, the intention is to raise that with UK Government colleagues.
Jenni Minto: The Scottish Government has already commissioned an independent review of transvaginal mesh implants and acted on the conclusions, which were published in March 2017. We have also implemented Baroness Cumberlege’s 2020 recommendations about transvaginal mesh. More recently, we commissioned two reports from the Scottish Health Technologies Group on mesh used in hernia repair. Those reports...

Shirley-Anne Somerville: Monica Lennon has raised a very important point. I and my fellow minister, Jenni Minto, who is here with me today, would be happy to ensure that we are doing everything that we can right across Government to work with food banks, food bank networks and others so that there is a shared understanding of the UNICEF guidance and what more we can do on that, and ensure that we are doing everything...
Alison Johnstone: The next item of business is a statement by Jenni Minto on diet and healthy weight consultations. The minister will take questions at the end of her statement, so there should be no interventions or interruptions. You have up to 10 minutes, minister.

Jenni Minto: Ministers and Scottish Government officials regularly meet representatives of all health and social care partnerships, including South Lanarkshire, to discuss matters of importance to local people. The cabinet secretary chaired an introductory meeting with the integration joint board chief officers, chairs and vice-chairs on Wednesday 17 May, and a representative of South Lanarkshire IJB was...
Jenni Minto: We are working closely with the dental sector to ensure that it has the support that is necessary for it to be able to offer access to national health service care for patients. That includes the Scottish Government providing Scottish dental access initiative grants and recruitment and retention allowances to dentists and dental practices in qualifying areas. The Scottish dental access...

Jenni Minto: I thank Emma Harper for raising an important issue. Our 2022 consultation proposed restrictions on vaping products that strike a balance between protecting all non-smokers from the potential harms of vaping and providing existing adult smokers with the information that they need to make an informed choice on cessation. As part of our active consideration of those restrictions, further...
Jenni Minto: The Scottish Government remains committed to the removal of all dental charges during the lifetime of this Parliament. We have made initial progress towards that commitment with the extension of free national health service dental care to young people aged 18 to 25. The new policy prospectus provides a commitment to sustained, improved and equitable national access to NHS dentistry.
