Response

The FMQs you have requested in the first part of your request are being withheld under an exemption under section 30(b)(i) which covers substantial inhibition of free and frank provision of advice. Transcripts of answers given to questions in Parliament are available from The Scottish Parliament Archive: Search the Official Report - Parliamentary Business : Scottish Parliament.

I enclose a copy of the A&E performance information you requested on the Health and Care Winter Planning statement delivered by Humza Yousaf on 04 October 2022.

The Urgent Question on Accident and Emergency Waiting times on November 8 answer is available from The Scottish Parliament Archive: https://archive2021.parliament.scot/parliamentarybusiness/report.aspx?r=13972. An exemption under section 30(b)(i) which covers substantial inhibition of free and frank provision of advice has been applied to background material supplied on the Urgent Question.

 An exemption under section 25(1) of FOISA states we do not have to give you information which is already reasonably accessible to you. If, however, you do not have internet access to obtain this information from the website, then please contact me again and I will send you a paper copy.
