The Scottish Government works closely with the UK's National Cybersecurity Centre to monitor and understand the risks of cyberattacks. We will shortly publish a new cyber security strategy that will set out actions to ensure that our organisation is cyber aware and makes sound risk-based decisions about cyber security.

Willwch Gwyrraeth Cymru hoswp ddaf yn ei ddwyllion oes o'r Syeiddiad cyfredig to review the Scottish Government's cyber security strategy? I met the chief executive of the National Cyber Security Centre on 5 September, and we had a very constructive discussion about the work that is necessary between the Scottish Government. In my earlier answer, I said that we are fully committed with the National Cyber Security Centre to ensure that we take all possible practical and tangible steps to ensure that the Government and our public authorities and agencies are protected in this way. I recognise entirely the significance and the seriousness of the issue that Mr Stewart raises. I assure him of the Government's determination to do all that we possibly can do to ensure preparedness in that respect. As part of that, we will continue our discussions with the National Cyber Security Centre to ensure that all lessons that we need to learn are learned and applied in practice. Finlay Carson, what steps has the Scottish Government taken to ensure that any new computer systems, specifically that of the Scottish Social Security Agency, what security measures are in place to protect them from a cyber attack? In the work that we undertake to ensure that we are cyber resilient, we have to apply all those lessons to the design of any systems or approaches that are taken forward. The approach that the Government takes is to ensure that we make sound risk-based decisions about cyber security and that we put in place the necessary defence mechanisms. Obviously, in the social security system, we will be dealing with a very significant amount of personal information of individuals and we have to make sure that that is properly protected by the steps that we take. I assure Mr Carson and Parliament that that is at the heart of the preparations that the Government is taking forward. Gillian Martin, to ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking to gain greater access to data that is held by HMRC that could assist in economic policymaking. The Digital Economy Act will enable HMRC to more easily share data with other organisations, including the Scottish Government, than has previously been possible, subject to appropriate data security and other requirements being met. We are working very constructively with HMRC to make use of those new powers to improve our economic statistics and analysis. In addition, the Scottish Government is currently working with HMRC to agree a service-level agreement that will ensure that it provides relevant and timely data to enable us to discharge our duties in respect of the Scottish income tax. In evidence to the Economy, Jobs and Fair Work Committee, a number of witnesses has pointed out that the analysis of GDP on its own is a very blunt indicator of economic success and that more has to be done to quantify economic success in terms of inclusive growth. What measures and data the Government intends to use to analyse how well Scotland is doing in terms of inclusive growth? GDP, of course, is an important indicator of economic performance, but we have long recognised that it is not the only one. That is why our national performance framework looks at a wider basket of indicators, including income inequality, reducing the gender pay gap and reducing the share of employees earning less than the real living wage, all of which are important for inclusive growth. Delivering more inclusive growth is a central part of this Government's economic strategy, and we are currently refreshing the national outcomes. Those and the indicators underpinning them will be strongly influenced by the priorities that are articulated in our economic strategy. Dean Lockhart Last week, the Economy, Fair Work Committee also heard evidence that the Scottish Government already has a vast amount of data that could be used for a wide range of policy considerations, but the Government does not fully understand how to use this data. Can the cabinet secretary therefore explain how the Government will improve its use of existing economic data that is available to it? I would refute the underlying assumption that we do not know how to use the data, but I think that, as the economy committee's deliberations showed, there is a real live debate about the nature of the data that we have and whether it can be improved. I think that that is perfectly legitimate. It is something that this Government has seized of. It has been mentioned by different parties in this chamber. It has been mentioned most recently to me by the SCDI, who also raised this with me last year. I think that the new analytical unit that will be established alongside the strategic board will enable us to make sure that we have the most effective use of the data, but also the right data to base our economic decisions upon. Neil Findlay To ask the Scottish Government when it will confirm whether there would be an inquiry into the policing of the 1984-85 minor strike in Scotland. As stated in my recent letter, the Scottish Government has been actively considering a way forward during these considerations. A number of legal and procedural questions have emerged and we are steadily working through those. I am at an advanced stage in my consideration of the matter and I aim to confirm my decision shortly. Neil Findlay It is 10 months since I and union officials, former miners and their legal representatives met by the cabinet secretary. The divisions and scars of that time still run very deep in communities, so I urge the cabinet secretary to reflect on all the evidence that has come out post Hillsborough and to do the right thing and to hold an inquiry into what I believe are historic miscarriages of justice. Neil Findlay When I met the member and representatives from the mine workers unions, I made it clear that I would consider the matters that they had raised with me. That is what I have been doing over recent months. As I have just stated, I will confirm the Government's decision on this matter in due course. James Dornan As the main source of injustice towards the miners was the action of the then UK Government and, more important, neither the Scottish Government or any public inquiry in Scotland would have the powers to overturn convictions, does the cabinet secretary agree with me that it remains for the UK Government to carry out the inquiry in the sooner the better? Michael Matheson The member is correct that the source of injustice in relation to the policing of the miner strikes is a matter that relates to the actions of the Conservative UK Government at that particular point. However, I have always been very clear that anything in relation to individual convictions relating to the miner strikes would be a matter for the Scottish criminal cases review that is bold here in Scotland. I also wrote to the Home Secretary back in the 7 November last year, making it very clear that the UK Government should commission and appoint an independent UK-wide investigation into any political interference during the course of the dispute. As members will know, that action has not been taken forward by the UK Government. Tom Arthur Thank you, Presiding Officer. I refer members to my register of interest in relation to music and my membership of the Musicians at Union to ask the Scottish Government how it supports the live music sector. Fiona Hyslop The Government is committed to supporting live music in Scotland through the Youth Music Initiative, specific support for festivals and through our national performing companies. Over the last financial year 2016-17, Creative Scotland awarded more than £12.8 million to music projects and organisations. That figure increases to an estimated £15 million when we take into account the many multi-art form venues and festivals across the country that include live music as part of their programmes. We have also confirmed £10 million towards a new concert venue for Edinburgh, which will reinforce the capital's reputation as a leading centre for music and the performing arts. The British Irish Council, the creative industries work sector, is considering ways to best support live music venues and the flow of musicians into the UK music industry. The council will report to ministers in November 2017. Tom Arthur I thank the cabinet secretary for that answer. She will no doubt be aware of the concerns of key stakeholders such as the Musicians Union regarding Brexit's potentially detrimental impact on the live music sector, both for musicians from other EU countries performing in Scotland and for Scottish musicians performing in Europe. Does the cabinet secretary agree with me that our live music sector would be best served by continuing membership of the single market and, crucially, the continuation of freedom of movement? Fiona Hyslop Indeed, the single market and the freedom of movement are vital to many of our industries, particularly the music industry. It is an estimated that 10 per cent of the UK's industry's workforce were non-UK, EU national. Clearly, membership of the single market and, indeed, freedom of movement allows our artists, our musicians, to take their work to a market of 500 million people with minimal administrative barriers. That freedom of movement is very important indeed. I want to quote the Sardul Lombardia director of the Festival Interceltique de Lloréon, where we had 220 Scottish performers performing as a country of honour this summer. He said that the free circulation of culture and ideas, particularly for artists and works of art, has helped Scotland to develop its strong reputation in arts, music and creativity and became a major country for European culture. We want that to continue in the future. That is the value of the single market and freedom of movement to our musicians, not just here in Scotland, but across Europe. Margaret Mitchell The Scottish Government, when it last met with NFU Scotland. Fergus Ewing Last week. Margaret Mitchell The minister may be aware that rural crime was discussed by the Justice Committee's last session around table discussion. Following that, the Solicitor General established a working group to review the issue, which led to the Crown and Procurator Fiscal Service updating existing policy and guidelines on agricultural crime. Rural crime subsequently fell. However, since January this year, there has been a widely reported increase in sheepwaring and farm depths. Can the minister outline the plans to tackle the issue? Michael Matheson That is a very serious and important issue. As the member has indicated, it has taken extremely seriously by the law officers and by Michael Matheson. The theft of sheep in remote rural locations, often conducted under cover of darkness, is a quite shocking crime. It is absolutely right that we take all steps possible to tackle it. I would certainly urge anyone in rural Scotland who sees any suspicious act of this nature to report immediately to the police. Of course, the nature of the place of such crimes is such that it is perhaps difficult to expect that there is likely to be evidence readily available, and that makes the crime more despicable. The damage to farmers financially and emotionally is considerable. I am certainly very happy to work with all members across the chamber to see what more, if anything, we can do to tackle this horrible crime. It is a very serious matter indeed for Scotland's farming community. Joan McAlpine Over the weekend, NFU Scotland warned that post Brexit, moving from our existing share of European farming support to a Barnett share, would, quote, effectively have the sum coming to Scotland and would be catastrophic for our farming and crofting sectors. Does the Scottish Government share that concern with the loss that is estimated at £250 million a year? Fergus Ewing Yes, the member is correct that, at the weekend, senior farming representatives in Scotland said that, unless the funding is maintained, the risk is that, if a Barnett share were applied, and I quote the farmers' representatives, that would effectively have the sum coming to Scotland and would be catastrophic for our farming and crofting sectors, with any loss up to £250 million. I met Michael Gove on Monday, and I sought written assurances that the pre-Brexit referendum pledges that funding would be matched, pledges made by Mr Gove and many of his pro-Brexit ear colleagues, and it's time to deliver on those pledges. Yet, 18 months after the referendum, we have still not got categoric assurances of this type. I made it clear to Mr Gove on a frank and workman-like discussion on Monday that this categoric assurance must arrive without any further delay. Anything less is utterly unacceptable. Rhoda Grant Given Scottish Government measures on tagging and the traceability of sheep, are they making those available to Police Scotland when they are trying to find those who are stealing sheep and how traceability in the food chain could be used to make sure that those sheep could not be sold on? I think that Ms Grant raises a very sensible point, and the underlying principle is that any evidence that is available that could help to bring to justice those who perpetrate these crimes should be available to the police and the independent prosecution authorities. I will therefore look into that specific matter with the law officers and report back to Ms Grant on the matter. Annie Wells To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking to improve mental health care provision for children and young adults with learning disabilities and autism. Maureen Watt A key section in the mental health strategy deals with the prevention and early intervention, and there are a range of actions in the strategy aimed at ensuring that children and young people, including those with learning disability and autism, have good mental health and that agencies act early enough when issues emerge and impact on young lives. In addition, the Scottish strategy for autism has developed a menu of interventions, including advice, therapeutic interventions and counselling for children, young people and adults with an autistic spectrum disorder. The menu helps to support professionals, people with autism, their parents and carers to identify the advice and support that is available and to set out the referral and assessment process for all other services and interventions. Annie Wells Scotland currently does not have any inpatient facilities, providing specific psychiatric care required for children or young people with learning disabilities and autism. A national working group was set up last year to look at developing proposals for learning disability inpatient facilities and in the mental health strategy for 2017-2027, and the Scottish Government stated that it would support work on the inpatient needs of those children. Can the minister ascertain what stage this is at and when we can expect the findings? Can the minister also give any detail of those findings, particularly in relation to the number of psychiatric inpatient beds that are recommended for children and young adults with learning disabilities and autism? The learning disability and autism inpatient unit is currently in the early planning stages and a report by the short-life working group is due in March 2018. Health boards continue to provide learning disability CAMHS services to those who require them, including a range of specialist support in the community if inpatient services are required. There are a range of options available to boards, including admission to one of the three CAMHS inpatient units in Scotland or, if necessary, admission to a specialist LD CAMHS inpatient unit in England. 7. Anasarwar To ask the Scottish Government what progress it is making with the GP contract. Cabinet Secretary Shona Robison We continue to negotiate a new GMS contract with the BMA's Scottish General Practitioners Committee. Those talks are progressing well. We intend these commercially sensitive negotiations to conclude in 2017 to enable a new contract to be implemented from April 2018. Anasarwar I thank the cabinet secretary for that answer. The Royal College of General Practicers tells us that the GP practice has been cut by more than £1 billion by the Government. They also report that we are on course to be 600 GP short by 2021. We currently have one in three GP practices reporting a vacancy. This shows how crucial the GP contract process is. What process will there be not only for GPs to be engaged in the GP contract process but also for the wider health sector and all professions and stakeholders, too? Cabinet Secretary Shona Robison Anasarwar will be aware of the commitment to invest £500 million in primary care over the course of this Parliament, £250 million of which will go in direct support of general practice. For 17-18 alone, £71.6 million investment is going into general practice to address many of the issues that Anasarwar raises, particularly recruitment and retention. In terms of the GMS contract, it is hugely important to set the direction of travel for general practice and primary care, a multidisciplinary model with the GPs at the heart as the clinical expert within that multidisciplinary team. In terms of the contract negotiation, as I said in my initial answer, it is at a sensitive stage, but the wider issues around the multidisciplinary team are being discussed with a wide range of other health professionals and, indeed, in public engagement to make sure that the public understands the new multidisciplinary model and the range of health professionals and social care professionals that will support that. The First Minister's question time is now over, but, before we do, members will wish to join me in welcoming to the gallery Ellen Jones AM, Clyweth of the National Assembly for Wales.
