Question
To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to the Scottish Independent Advocacy Alliance analysis of the advocacy scheme for disabled people accessing social security.
Answer
I received a letter from Bob Doris, Convener of the Social Security Commission, on 14 August informing me that the Scottish Independent Advocacy Alliance (SIAA) had provided the Committee with an analysis of the interim advocacy service.
I will issue a full response to Mr Doris and the Committee shortly.
