Part of the debate – in the Scottish Parliament on 22nd December 2020.
I previously asked for a review of the level 4 restrictions in the hope of seeing greater flexibility for gyms and health and fitness facilities, given their positive mental health impacts. As the First Minister has suggested that a further toughening of the level 4 restrictions may be required—and I absolutely understand why—that flexibility is clearly unlikely to be introduced over the next few weeks. However, as we emerge from the latest challenge—and we will do so—will she consider future flexibilities at level 4, even though that is understandably not the current direction of travel?
