Medsphere Systems Corporation and Guadalupe County Hospital today announced that Guadalupe has received an initial reimbursement in excess of $1.5 million for meeting Meaningful Use Stage 1 requirements. Focused on moving American hospitals and clinics away from paper to interoperable electronic systems, Meaningful Use dollars will fully reimburse Guadalupe for the initial five-year costs of Medsphere's OpenVista system, which is now empowering clinicians to improve patient care and clinical processes.
The smallest non critical-access hospital in the nation, Guadalupe is also representative of thousands of similar healthcare facilities nationwide that live close to the financial margins and still manage to provide crucial local healthcare services.
"Medsphere congratulates Guadalupe County Hospital on achieving Meaningful Use and working so diligently to improve patient care for the Santa Rosa community," said Medsphere President and CEO Irv Lichtenwald. "Hospital CEO Christina Campos wears many hats and has infused the place with a can-do spirit that her entire staff has embraced. Meaningful Use qualification demonstrates the flexibility and affordability of OpenVista at a wide range of hospitals, and it speaks volumes about the team at Guadalupe."
In qualifying for Meaningful Use, Guadalupe and Medsphere collaborated on essential training, workflow redesign and clinical transformation efforts. Moving forward, the hospital anticipates more financially manageable health IT operating expenses as all OpenVista upgrades, enhancements and support are included in Medsphere's subscription-based pricing model.
"I could not be more proud of the clinicians and staff I work with here at Guadalupe County Hospital," said Campos. "Their directed efforts and support for the project ensured our success, and their embrace of OpenVista in the hospital is making a tremendous difference. I'm very pleased that Guadalupe can serve as an example to similar facilities—comprehensive health IT is available to all hospitals, not only those with huge endowments in urban areas."
Guadalupe joins other Medsphere hospital partners who have received federal stimulus funds. Earlier this year, Cooper Green Mercy Hospital (Birmingham, AL) and Beauregard Memorial Hospital (DeRidder, LA) received federal reimbursement sufficient to defray most of the five-year total licensing costs for the OpenVista EHR. New Jersey's Meadowlands Hospital Medical Center (MHMC) also received an initial federal reimbursement large enough to cover the entire five-year cost of OpenVista.
In late 2011, California's Kern Medical Center received more than $5 million from the federal government, with in excess of $11 million expected in total. Earlier, Texas's Midland Memorial Hospital received $3.3 million of more than $7 million expected over the life of the Meaningful Use program. Hoboken University Medical Center, an MHMC neighbor, last year received about $3 million of an estimated $8 million in total federal reimbursement.
About Guadalupe County Hospital
Guadalupe County Hospital is a general medical facility providing adult and pediatric care. With a full-time staff of 45, including administrative staff, this 10-bed acute care hospital handles roughly 250 admissions and 2,500 emergency room visits per year. Located in Santa Rosa, N.M., 117 miles east of Albuquerque on Interstate 40, Guadalupe serves the entire county of fewer than 4700 people.
About Medsphere and OpenVista
Founded in 2002 and based in Carlsbad, Calif., Medsphere Systems Corporation is an award-winning organization of clinical and technology professionals working to make quality health IT solutions accessible to organizations of virtually any size, shape or budget. Medsphere's OpenVista is a portfolio of clinical support products and professional services that leverages an electronic health record (EHR) system developed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. This VistA EHR is widely credited with helping transform the VA into the nation's most efficient and clinically effective healthcare organization. OpenVista, the most fully commercialized VistA offspring, is a responsible reapplication of the VA's $8.5 billion investment, which recent studies show have yielded $3.09 billion in benefits, primarily from the near elimination of medication administration issues and duplicate testing.
Medsphere's subscription-based pricing model enables hospital, clinic and integrated delivery network customers to pay for OpenVista from their operating budget with no upfront costs or back-end balloon payments. Expert implementation and other services facilitate fluid and rapid transition to a paperless clinical environment focusing on best practices and evidence-based medicine in six to nine months. Medsphere also actively nurtures the Healthcare Open Source Ecosystem, a global community of customers, partners, developers and other online collaborators who drive OpenVista innovation, and provide a parallel development and support structure.

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets.

Hockey: Offensive quartet leading Freeport
Freeport lost the third-leading scorer in Class A, Cole Hepler, from last season's team that was less than a minute away from making the Penguins Cup title game.
But four returning players have helped to pick up the slack and keep Freeport above .500 (4-3) in the early part of the season.
Michael Frazetta (10 points), Robert Reichenbaugh (10), Stone Haberstroh (9) and Hunter Kepple (9) are leading the charge for the Yellow Jackets, who have won their past two games. All four players scored at least 18 points last season, led by Frazetta's 34 points.
Freeport also has all three goaltenders back from last season's squad in Matt Huston, Katie Hill and Domenic DiGiacobbe. The trio has split duties, with Huston getting three games and the other two each playing twice. Huston leads the team in wins (2) and save percentage (.910), while Hill has the best goals-against average (3.43).

Cryogenic low-noise two-stage amplifiers were developed for frequency bands of 3.4-4.6 GHz, 4-8 GHz, and 8-9 GHz using commercial GaAs high electron mobility transistor. The performances are in very good agreement with simulations, and at a cryogenic temperature of 12 K, input noise temperatures get as low as 0.6 K/GHz (2.8 K for the 3.4-4.6 GHz LNA and 5 K for the 4-8 GHz and 8-9 GHz LNAs). Gain ranges from 25 to 28 dB. Ultralow noise temperature, low-power consumption, high reliability, and reproducibility make these devices adequate for series production and receiver arrays in, e.g., telescopes.

A special Hi-res view
Maybe pictures of wet joint compound on a piece of wood aren't all that interesting, but I think they are. I treat every step in my process as a finished piece of work in and of itself, and that includes the part where I slather goop, especially if I can take a nice picture of it. Here are two nice pictures. These panels are now dry and ready to be drawn upon, which is usually the next step.
I'll put down some lines until I feel I've achieved a finished composition, and then move on to the next step.
If you believe in something, never give up on it. That thing may never come to fruition, but you'll know you did everything you could do. Sometimes, that will have to be enough.
Mischief (Mostly) Managed
Finally got those panels. Cut down and cradles cut as well. Four 2′ x 3′, two 2′ x 2′, and one 5′ x 3′. Now it's down to fastening them together. I have the nails to do the small and medium ones tonight. Need to get galvanized screws for the large panel, since there's a LOT of warp that goes on concerning a panel that large (not to mention that it's pretty heavy)!
So by tomorrow I can be layering on some joint compound and starting anew.
Yeah, it's not just like going to the store to buy a pre-stretched canvas. Maybe I should take up watercolor?
Upon Occasion
One from 2012, from the series of subtle stripes and calming vibes. I hope you enjoy it!
turn the crank
got panels today, and furring with which to cradle them. Plus joint-compound. I don't know if I have nails to fasten the panels to the furring, in which case I will need to get some. wasn't able to assemble those panels, probably obviously, as something else took priority today. Will maybe run the chop-saw Friday morning around 9AM.

Here you can find out about your MSPs' political activities and how to get in touch with them.
Graeme is a member of the following Committees:
Graeme is a member of the following Cross-Party Groups:
The member makes an important point, and I would support that proposal. I was at Stranraer academy yesterday and that very issue was raised out of the blue. The young person concerned thought it was very unfair that we would treat young drivers differently from mature drivers such as me, although I raised the fact that young drivers are statistically more likely to be involved in road accidents whether or not they are impaired through alcohol.
I hope that the Government invests the necessary financial support to ensure that an educational media campaign is launched. I invite the cabinet secretary to examine the possibility of modern-day alcometers being provided to the general public in some form so that they can understand the impact of the alcohol that they consume—I have no knowledge of the cost of such things or whether that would be a practical solution.
I trust that, as the debate progresses, the Parliament will agree that the motion and the Labour amendment should be supported. Subject to the speeches from the Conservative Party in the debate, we will make a judgment on the Conservative amendment.
I move amendment S4M-11567.1, to insert at end:
", and considers that the accompanying education and media campaign should cover the morning after effects of alcohol".
I say at outset that Scottish Labour supports the motion. I will speak to the amendment from Scottish Labour.
We have no reservations in our support for the Government's intentions in this matter. To reduce the drink-drive limit is the right thing to do and this is the right time to do it. If the motion is agreed to and the policy is implemented, we hope and anticipate that it will bring about greater safety on Scottish roads and protect citizens throughout Scotland.
The cabinet secretary was good enough to rehearse the statistics. The situation is maddening, because it does not need to be this way. Few members, and few of the people who are listening to the debate, will not have been touched in some way by an incident in which a driver who was under the influence of drink—not just a drunk driver, as we might imagine them, but someone whose abilities were impaired through alcohol—caused an accident. Such accidents cause enormous angst, injury and sometimes, unfortunately, death.
In 2010, the UK Labour Party commissioned a review from Sir Peter North. He recommended that the blood alcohol content limit be reduced to 50mg, estimating that up to 168 deaths would be saved in the UK in the first year of implementation. It is depressing that the UK Government refused to accept Sir Peter North's recommendations. As the cabinet secretary acknowledged, that was a missed opportunity, which we hope that the UK Government will revisit sooner rather than later.
The measure that we are considering today is a bit like the ban on smoking in public places. Mr MacAskill was right when he said that, in the 1960s and 1970s, people accepted as part of the culture the notion that a man—it was men in particular, I have to say—would get behind the wheel of a motor car while impaired or, as was often the case, drunk. Machismo was involved, and people thought that everyone was able to make a judgment about their fitness to drive.
The introduction of alcometers and breath tests changed things. However, we need to acknowledge that even in modern Scotland we have been involved in all sorts of arguments about how fairly the technology for detecting impairment is used and that we have made it very difficult for police officers to obtain the evidence that is necessary for prosecution.
I am pleased that much of that is behind us and that we realise that this is a public safety issue, rather than a matter of criminalising members of our community. I do not expect much antagonism in this afternoon's debate. I anticipate that all members will support the Government's intentions.
I have done some research into how the proposed change will affect communities. When Ireland indicated that the standard limit of 80mg per 100ml of blood would be reduced to 50mg per 100ml, the council in Kerry, in south-west Ireland, moved that the proposal should be amended to enable the garda to issue permits to respected members of the local community who would be trusted to drive with a higher level of alcohol in their blood. The idea was debated with some strength and was proposed to the justice secretary in Dublin, but I am pleased to say that no further steps were taken and no decision was offered—the proposal merely fell by the wayside through lack of support.
However, that indicates the concerns that exist in rural communities about the impacts of the changes, which we should acknowledge; hence, the Labour amendment seeks to add a reference to an educational and media campaign to the Government's motion. It is important that we further educate the community. If we tell them 10 times, we will need to tell them 10 times more and 10 times more again. Only when they are personally involved in incidents involving drivers who are under the influence of alcohol do people take these things seriously. We need to get it into the minds of people like me that those drivers are not evil people; they are careless people who do not think ahead of time. The Government and the Parliament have a duty to bring to people's attention now the impacts of what could happen, particularly over the festive period.
The First Minister may remember that I raised concerns last year about proposed changes to legal aid. The president of the Law Society of Scotland said this week that legal aid cuts are likely to curb rights to justice for people on low and modest incomes who rely on legal aid. Does the First Minister agree that the prospect of citizens of modest means being denied access, as the Law Society suggests, while career criminals repeatedly access legal aid unfettered is indefensible and a foreseeable consequence arising from Mr MacAskill's changes? Will the First Minister use whatever influence he has to ensure that the situation is addressed by his successor urgently?
To ask the First Minister what the Scottish Government's response is to the Law Society of Scotland's discussion paper, "Legal Assistance in Scotland", which says that the current system is not fit for purpose. (S4F-02386)
Will the cabinet secretary confirm whether he or his officials have had discussions with the Scottish Police Authority about the nature of any additional resources or finance that might be required to deal with the issue?
To ask the Scottish Government when it will bring forward proposals to tackle revenge pornography and what timescales will apply. (S4O-03681)
I am grateful for that intervention, but Jackson Carlaw knows that we are sensitive to any impact that introducing the UKIP influence into our British legislation might have.
I acknowledge that Mr Carlaw commented that the Human Rights Act 1998 was a Labour piece of legislation. I am proud of the fact that Labour introduced it.
I also acknowledge that Amnesty, the Equality and Human Rights Commission, the SCVO, the Scottish Human Rights Commission and the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund were good enough to provide briefings before the debate. Those briefings were proper and helpful but, to some extent, they miss a point: human rights are not compartmentalised in the way that they are applied and often have to be applied to pursue individual cases; they are for us all and play a part in our everyday lives.
The minister commented about some individuals applying common sense in criticising human rights. However, common sense is often only a person's view or prejudice. The minister was correct to acknowledge that those commonsense criticisms were often ill founded or ill conceived.
Parliaments exist to exercise the sovereignty that their citizens grant them. In the absence of genuine human rights that are applied day to day, there can be no sovereignty for our Parliaments because the consent to exercise power on the citizen's behalf is absent where citizens have no genuine rights and freedoms.
Jackson Carlaw asked about some examples of the way in which human rights have affected our day-to-day existence. Slopping out caused a great deal of anxiety when it became a public issue in Scotland. However, who can now visit a modern prison and not be shocked at the thought that only a decade ago—before we went through our experience with the issue—prisoners in Scottish prisons slopped out every day?
The other example that I would give is an international example of a situation in which one nation state dealt with human trafficking by returning women who were trafficked for sexual purposes to the nation state that they had come from, which then sent them back to the state that they were being exploited in, only for them then to be murdered. The European Court decided that the nation state that returned them to the place they had come from had failed in its responsibilities to those women and that they should have been protected and not returned to another nation state where they were murdered.
This debate is useful in that it has allowed us to rehearse why human rights are important to us. I hope that we not only reinforce these rights but extend them to all.
I trust that the minister has enjoyed the afternoon, because it is not usual for the Government to be able to propose a motion and not suffer the slings and arrows of Opposition criticisms about its content. I am pleased to say that, having reviewed the motion before coming to the chamber, Scottish Labour supports it without reservation.
I listened carefully to Jackson Carlaw's speech and took seriously the views that he expressed. He mentioned his experience of seeing the Gorbals from the family car as a child and realising the challenges that people experienced throughout the 1950s and 1960s in Glasgow. Without trying to score a point in any way, I ask him to consider that, had he been a member of the community that he viewed, human rights might be a more sensitive issue for him and he might consider a European convention on human rights to be a crucial part of modern life.
As we commemorated in the two minutes of silence in the Parliament today the millions who gave their lives, I wondered what the soldiers in the trenches would have made of why they were sitting there fighting the first and second world wars. It would not have been for profit, wages or land. I am certain that, had they been able to write out why they were there, in the cold light of day, they would have written the articles of the convention in the mud and glaur of the time. As a result, the detail in the convention is vital to the way in which the state conducts its business for the future.
I am grateful to the cabinet secretary for early sight of his statement. I am pleased to acknowledge that he is taking the lead on the matter so that we can finally deliver on the hopes of survivors across Scotland on the very important issue of child protection.
I am pleased to associate myself with the words of support that the cabinet secretary offered to all those who have contributed to decisions that he has acknowledged. I add to them the individual survivors and survivors groups, which have helped so much.
I hope that the cabinet secretary will be able to give us further details of the action plan and implementation dates, which are important, because survivors and others who have been involved have too often not known when something was due to occur and when it would be delivered.
As the cabinet secretary indicated, a survivor wanted to live and thrive, but many of the survivors to whom I have spoken also want an answer on how and why the abuse that they suffered was allowed to continue. The answer to that question gives us the best opportunity to protect vulnerable children in the future.
The cabinet secretary mentioned the initiation of a support fund. I would welcome more detail about who would contribute to that support fund, as a number of organisations and agencies would do well to show willingness to contribute fully.
I hope that the commemoration that the cabinet secretary mentioned will take on board not only living survivors but those who—unfortunately—took their own lives in past years because they were unable to content themselves with the future, given the knowledge of what they had suffered.
The cabinet secretary's statement mentioned supporting survivors to understand the interaction plan. I have to say that that sounded a deal condescending. I hope that he will explain that more fully, because I am sure that he did not mean what he said in the way that it looks in the cold light of the statement.
Many survivors will look forward to the introduction of a public inquiry. Christmas cannot come soon enough for them. They believe that a public inquiry will give us a full understanding of why we are where we are and how we can prevent things from recurring in the future in the way that they seem to have done in past decades. I am very grateful that the statement has been made.
I am glad to contribute to the debate this afternoon. It is about a vitally important issue to this Parliament and to fairness, justice and transparency. I also record my gratitude to Stewart Stevenson and the SPPA Committee members, who have played out many of the complex issues that we are grappling with this afternoon.
I also record my pleasure at hearing Helen Eadie's name mentioned this afternoon. She was certainly one who revealed to me the importance of integrity, conviction and principle when one indulges in parliamentary procedure. In that light, I concur with Malcolm Chisholm on many of the issues that he raised. Lobbying causes public concern and it does not matter whether that is merely a perception. MSPs, civil servants and public officials can be compromised or considered to have been compromised by lobbying. That perception in itself is detrimental to all that we are trying to do here. It damages public faith in democracy.
I am sure that many colleagues will have been contacted at one time or another by people who have reservations about the level of contact and lobbying that occurs—or is thought to occur—in the confines of this building. That is not to say that trying to lobby, to raise awareness or to advance causes is, of itself, a problem. Nothing in the proposals that were offered by my colleague Neil Findlay seeks to prevent legitimate lobbying of members—a process that, if properly utilised, is designed to communicate, inform and share intelligence with those who have a duty to make policy decisions on behalf of the Scottish people.
However, the problem occurs when lobbying, and the way in which policy is decided, is believed to be shadowy and covert. The impression of or assumption by some people that something untoward has occurred, or is occurring, damages public life every bit as much as the reality. Lobbying is part of the political process. Despite some of the more uncharitable perceptions, it does not necessarily mean undue influence. However, it is undeniably about influence and awareness; ultimately, it is about having an impact on policy and decision making. Those who would lobby will, on occasion, have a personal interest in a desired outcome. That interest might be based on common good. On other occasions, though, it may be founded on commercial or financial advantage.
Any perception that MSPs or any official are being swayed by lobbyists exerting special influence is damaging, especially when the meetings or engagements that take place are thought to be secret. That is why I supported my colleague Neil Findlay's proposed lobbying transparency bill in 2012. I am glad that the Scottish Government agrees that there is a need for greater transparency and I look forward to studying the proposals that it will publish in due course. I look forward also to reading the conclusions of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee's inquiry.
The very existence of a register, along with a code of administration, will go a long way towards ensuring that the good health of Parliament's integrity is recognised. The interactions between lobbyists and parliamentarians should be acknowledged and recorded to ensure that they are up front and above board. That does not inhibit discussions. It does, however, protect all of us who are engaged in such discussions from any perception that they are suspect.
I agree with members from all sides of the chamber who believe that Westminster's approach to this issue does not hit the mark. It was suggested that legislation would bring clarity on the issue of lobbying, but it has only muddied the water and made things more difficult in the Westminster environment.
A number of charities, including Oxfam, have complained that a bill would threaten to stifle public debate. The Political and Constitutional Reform Committee at Westminster criticised the bill there for being too narrow and too focused on third party lobbyists.
There will, unfortunately, be pressure on committee members to decide which way they will swing at the end of the day, but whatever proposals are brought to Parliament for further consideration, they should at their heart be genuinely transparent and able to give the public the confidence that any problems that might arise in the future will be headed off at the pass by some up-front solution. We must have clear legislation, learn the lessons from our Westminster colleagues and deliver what the public need: clarity of purpose and due honesty and integrity from the members of this Parliament.

That the Parliament believes that all fundamental changes in the way that Scotland is policed should be properly debated and that meaningful consultation, including with the Scottish Police Authority board members, should be carried out prior to any policy decision being taken; notes with concern the absence of any meaningful contribution from the Scottish Police Authority ahead of recent policy changes on stop and search, the allocation of routine police duties to armed officers and target setting; recognises that it is necessary for Police Scotland to police by consent and that this is in the interests of public safety and confidence in the police; believes that the responsibility for the accountability of Police Scotland lies with the Cabinet Secretary for Justice, who told the Parliament on 27 June 2012 that "the Scottish Police Authority's ability to hold the chief constable to account for the policing of Scotland is wide ranging and allows the authority to scrutinise and challenge the chief constable on all of his or her functions and roles and on all aspects of policing", and, in light of the cabinet secretary's failure to provide effective governance of Police Scotland in delivering public accountability, calls on him to resign from his post.
That the Parliament welcomes the opening of the Scottish Confucius Institute for Business and Communication at Heriot-Watt University, which aims to promote Chinese language and culture for educational and business purposes; understands that this builds on Heriot-Watt's developing links with China and its position as a centre of excellence in interpreting and translating, for which the university has some of the best facilities in the UK; commends the Confucius institute's partnership with China's Tianjin University for Finance and Economics, and believes that it will be a fantastic addition to Heriot-Watt University and to Scotland.

As an amendment to motion S4M-10278 in the name of Kenny MacAskill (CashBack for Communities), leave out from ", and believes" to end and insert "; notes that the CashBack for Communities programme replaced a similar initiative launched by the Scottish Executive in 2006; believes that funds obtained from the proceeds of crime should continue to be focused on projects in communities across Scotland, particularly those affected by deprivation, crime and antisocial behaviour, and, in so doing, continue to tackle breaking the cycle of youth offending in communities, and deplores funds obtained from the proceeds of crime being used to mitigate Scottish Government cuts, including its reported planned use to top up Police Scotland and the Crown Office's budgets."
That the Parliament applauds what it considers the excellent work of police officers and staff in South Scotland and throughout the country; considers that they have maintained a high standard of policing throughout a very challenging transition period; however expresses concern that the implementation of the single police force was rushed through without proper consideration or consultation; was dismayed by what it saw as the unedifying spectacle of the chief constable of Police Scotland and the chairman of the Scottish Police Authority conducting a covert and confrontational dispute over who would ultimately hold power over policing in Scotland; considers that there appears to be a serious lack of local accountability and transparency within Police Scotland; believes that access for local communities has been further eroded by the closure of over 60 public counters across Scotland and that there is a distinct lack of democratic accountability for policing as the Cabinet Secretary for Justice refuses to take responsibility for the police service, instead repeatedly stating that issues are "operational matters"; understands that policing in Scotland faces significant cuts to its budget over the next few years and that financial savings must be made, but is concerned that over 1,700 support staff have lost their jobs since 2010, which has resulted in widespread reports of "backfilling"; considers that both the Chief Constable and the general secretary of the Scottish Police Federation believe that the most recent statistics on stop and searches are exaggerated and that a proportion of them is likely to have been "made up", and considers that the Scottish Government prioritises headline grabbing figures and positive spin rather than ensuring an effective level of democratic accountability for policing and that accurate crime recording is maintained.

As an amendment to motion S4M-09557 in the name of Alison McInnes (Stop and Search), leave out from "considers" to end and insert "regrets the absence of any effective oversight evidenced on the part of the Scottish Police Authority on this and other issues of significance; notes that a request has been made for Audit Scotland to formally investigate crime statistics and reporting practices in Police Scotland, and expects the Cabinet Secretary for Justice to take responsibility for the future direction of the police service that the current Scottish administration created."
That the Parliament acknowledges the continuing efforts of survivors of historic institutional child abuse, including those in South Scotland, to access justice; recognises that many survivors continue to suffer from the legacy of the abuse that they experienced; believes that, while some steps have been taken to address historic child abuse, much more needs to be done; notes the deliberations of the Public Petitions Committee in its consideration of Petition PE1351, Time for all to be heard, since it was lodged in August 2010; welcomes the publication by the Scottish Human Rights Commission of its Action Plan on Justice for Victims of Historic Abuse of Children in Care; notes that the main aims of the action plan are to achieve acknowledgement and accountability for historical institutional child abuse; further notes that a number of options exist for improving accountability, including a full public inquiry, the establishment of a survivors' support fund and tackling the barrier of the time bar in allowing survivors access to justice, and notes calls for action to improve support for survivors of historic institutional child abuse and allow them access to justice.

That the Parliament believes that the Scottish Government should better support community and staff involvement in policing and fire service decisions.
That the Parliament believes that the Scottish Government's budget cuts are having a significant impact on the link between communities and their local police service; notes concern at plans to close police station public counters and reduce opening hours; also notes concern at the use of police officers to cover for cuts in the number of police staff; encourages people to make the case to save the service offered by their local police station and stand up for their local police service; condemns the practice of back-filling of staff posts by police officers, and calls on the Scottish Government to defend local policing.
That the Parliament notes reports of a high number of sheep thefts over the last 18 months, particularly in the Borders region, that have cost farmers hundreds of thousands of pounds; is concerned that hard-working, honest farmers are being targeted by thieves who carry out unseemly and unregulated butchery of animals and who operate what it considers the callous, cruel and selfish black market trade of stolen livestock; supports the country's legitimate and regulated meat market, where it considers animals are treated with support and care by hard-pressed and hard-working farmers; believes that there is a link between the continued challenging economic climate, the rise in sheep theft and the subsequent black market; considers that the least farmers should expect is the support of the authorities, and hopes that both the Scottish Government and Police Scotland will take all necessary steps to ensure that farmers are adequately protected from further theft.

To ask the First Minister what the Scottish Government's response is to the Law Society of Scotland's discussion paper, Legal Assistance in Scotland, which says that the current system is not fit for purpose.
To ask the Scottish Government when it will bring forward proposals to tackle revenge pornography and what timescales will apply.
To ask the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body, in light of recent events at other parliaments, whether it plans to carry out a security assessment of the campus.
David Stewart (on behalf of the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body): Reviews of the security arrangements at the Parliament estate are carried out on a regular basis including the parliamentary infrastructure, security policies, issuing of passes, policing response and a security education programme. These are in line with the advice received from the security services.
To ask the Scottish Government whether (a) it and (b) Police Scotland plans to make representations to the Home Office to ask for the cost of calling the 101 non-emergency number to be reviewed.
The contract and charges for the 101 number were set and are regulated by the Home Office.
The Scottish Government currently has no plans to make representations to the Home Office to ask for the cost of calling the 101 police non-emergency number to be reviewed.
The position of Police Scotland is a matter for the Chief Constable.
To ask the Scottish Government how many 101 non-emergency calls to the police are received on average each month.
This is a matter for Police Scotland. The Scottish Government does not hold this information.
To ask the Scottish Government whether it considers it appropriate that a private operator should profit from calls to Police Scotland's non-emergency number.
There has always been a cost associated with non-emergency calls to the police. The introduction of the 101 number has allowed this cost to become consistent across the country, and between landline and mobile phone users. In many cases the single, flat rate charge of 15p replaces previous higher charges.
To ask the First Minister what the Scottish Government's response is to COSLA's agreement to oppose the policy of allowing police officers to carry guns while carrying out routine duties.
To ask the Scottish Government what additional support it is providing to the Scottish Ambulance Service in light of it not meeting a range of targets.
To ask the Scottish Government how much has been raised from use of the 101 telephone number, and what plans it has to provide callers with a notice that a charge of 15p will be incurred.
The introduction of the 101 number has allowed for the cost of a non-emergency call to become standardised and transparent across the whole of the UK for the first time.
There are no plans for a national campaign about the 15p charge. Information on the 101 number and the 15p charge is already available on the Police Scotland website. Neither the Police nor the Scottish Government receive money from calls to 101. The 15p cost of the call goes to the telephony providers to cover the cost of carrying the calls. The 15p charge per call to the 101 number was set and is regulated by the Home Office.
To ask the Scottish Government what steps it has taken to ascertain how many homeless people there are in Scotland, and how vulnerable it considers the visibly homeless are to abuse, crime and others forms of ill-treatment.
The most recent homelessness statistics for Scotland show that, during 2013-14, local authorities assessed 29,326 households as either homeless or likely to become homeless within two months. Local authorities have the statutory duty for homelessness and all unintentionally homeless households are entitled to settled accommodation.
The most recent homelessness statistics, including further information on those who had also slept rough, are available at: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/homelessstats.
Police Scotland is committed to keeping people safe. It acknowledges that those that are homeless can often be some of the most vulnerable people within our communities. That is why it works together with its partners, including the Scottish Government, to try to minimise the risk of homeless people becoming the victim of crime or abuse and that they are provided with medical or other forms of support that they require. If Police Scotland receives a complaint from a homeless person that they have been the victim of crime or abuse, it would investigate that in the same way it would with any another complaint, and if criminality was established it would ensure that appropriate action was taken.
