What I can do is assure him that the Scottish Government is absolutely committed to the help-to-buy Scotland scheme and to help people on to the housing ladder and we will continue that commitment to the scheme. Mary Fee. Thank you, Presiding Officer. For buyers to get on the property ladder there must also be enough housing stock. The housing statistics published by the Scottish Government this week show the number of houses built has gone down again and is at its lowest level since 1947. What is the Scottish Government doing to ensure that there are enough houses for our growing population? The Scottish Government has a commitment to build 30,000 affordable homes during the lifetime of this Parliament. I would remind the member that since 2007, when this Government came into power in Scotland, there have been more houses built across the sector, and ahead of population in the private sector, there are still more houses being built. Scotland is pushing above our weight in the rest of the UK in terms of house building. We will continue to do so. We are looking at other innovative ways of making sure that we can continue to ensure that we are building houses for the people of Scotland, and we have certainly outperformed any other administration in this Scottish Parliament. To ask the Scottish Government whether it plans to include the six black gilamote sites, three sandale sites and the fourth of fourth banks complex as part of the proposed marine protected areas to be designated in 2014. Marine Scotland is currently reviewing the 14,703 consultation responses to our consultation, almost all of which I am pleased to say that we are supportive of the work that we are undertaking, and also our project partners in terms of developing the network of marine protected areas, including those 10 sites that are mentioned by the member. We will be considering further scientific advice from the Scottish Natural Heritage and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, and once considered, we will set out our next steps for designating a network of MPAs in the next few months. Colin Beattie? I thank the cabinet secretary for that response. Does the cabinet secretary agree with me that understanding how best to protect Scotland's seabirds and address their decline is of vital importance as we seek to develop Scotland's offshore renewable resource, while also respecting our natural environment? Cabinet secretary? I agree with that. Offshore renewables already take account of potential impacts on seabirds, and those new plans and designations that are currently being considered will ensure further protection for Scotland's rich seabird heritage. It is also worth bearing in mind that there are already designations in place for marine waters at the moment, covering 31 seabird breeding colonies in the future. I am sure that we will be able to do that in the next few months. I ask the cabinet secretary if he could reassure us that he is taking into account the fact that we are going to simply protect and protect our seabirds for the future. Is there a need to move on to a new approach? Mewn cyrtidaeth o'r cwrinwyr y byddol iau, mae'n ddigeniadu theoryolngu Black Mild Theodell crew. Felly, rydyn ni'n fyddai'n ddigeniadu'r gyffredinol iau parties i ddaeth i'w gael Rydyn ni'n ddigeniadu'r pan fyddai'n ddigeniadu'r cyffredinol iau yn fywyd, a ddigeniadu'r ffiptig iau ei gael. Rydyn ni'n ddigeniadu'r cwrinwyr y fyddai'n ddigeniadu'r cyffredinol iau i ddigeniadu'r is part of our NPA network sites that covered important seabird colonies and breeding areas and feeding areas. That is why we are, as I said, considering whether the NPA network should take into account black gillumet and other species that support seabirds, including four sites for sandales, which are, of course, an important food source for seabirds. We are actively considering those designations. Jamie McGregor, on that point, what further actions are being considered to turn around the worrying trends relating to the dwindling number of sandales, as those are very important food things for their seabirds? As I just indicated, part of our current consideration of the marine protected area network will include consideration of four sites where sandales are present, which, of course, are an important food source for seabirds. Of course, this is quite a complex situation because climate change and other factors influence our sandale populations, but we are certainly actively considering how sandales can be included in the NPA network. To ask the Scottish Government who sits on the working group on supporter involvement in football clubs. The recently established working group on support involvement in football clubs, chaired by Stephen Morrow, senior lecturer at Sterling University, includes representatives of the Scottish Football Association, the Scottish Professional Football League, Supporters Direct Scotland and Sport Scotland. The group is scheduled to meet for the first time on Friday 30th and can, as part of its early consideration, review current membership to ensure that it has appropriate representation from club supporters and football authorities. Does the minister agree that one possible solution to moving Scottish football towards fan ownership would be for the sports governing bodies to require clubs to give fans the first right to buy when they come up for sale and that, if they are unwilling to do so, this Parliament may consider legislation? First of all, I acknowledge Alison Johnstone's long-standing interest in this area. I am sure that we will continue to have discussions about this. As I have indicated previously and during the debate on the issue last month, the governance and ownership of football clubs is a complex issue that we require to carefully consider, which is why the working group on support and involvement in football clubs was established. I am confident that the group will, by working closely with those involved in all sides of the debate, identify a range of possible options for change. As I said, the group meets for the first time tomorrow. It will look at all those issues and it will look to give recommendations back to me by the end of this year, and then we can take forward the recommendations through Parliament. To ask the Scottish Government when the four-hour target for accident and emergency treatment will be met at the Royal Alexander hospital in Paisley. The Scottish Government is working closely with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde to ensure that the four-hour target for accident and emergency is met across all its sites, including the Royal Alexander hospital. Very clearly, we have some way to go to achieve the sustainable improvement that is required in the board area and at the Royal Alexander hospital, although performance in the Royal Alexander hospital is improving and is often above 90 per cent, even meeting and exceeding the 95 per cent target. However, we appreciate more work that has to be done to continue improvements towards a sustainable and on-going 95 per cent. I am disappointed that the cabinet secretary will not give an indication of when his target will be met. The RAH was one of only two hospitals in Scotland that failed to meet even 90 per cent of the four-hour target according to Audit Scotland in November and December of last year. The cabinet secretary intervened to protect mental health services in his own area. Will he now take a personal interest and intervene to deliver the target for patients in Renfrewshire? I tell the member that the Royal Alexander hospital achieved just under 92 per cent in March, which is obviously the latest official figure available. There was no way of succeeding 12 hours and there was a 57 per cent reduction in the number waiting over eight hours. The substantial improvement on the performance when he was a minister and the overall level in Scotland was 86 per cent, described by the then health secretary and the care as a very, very good performance. I had a meeting recently with the chair and chief executive of Greater Glasgow and Clyde health board and I discussed with them the detailed plans that we have right across the board area to ensure that that board, like every other board in Scotland, achieves a 95 per cent target by September and then moves on to the 98 per cent sustainable standard. To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking to reverse the projected population decline in Argyll and Bute. The Scottish Government continues to support healthy population growth through working closely with a range of organisations, including Argyll and Bute Council and Highlands and Enterprise, to promote sustainable economic growth in Argyll and Bute. That helps to ensure strong thriving communities across the area that will retain and attract people. Population growth is a key driver of sustainable economic growth, as our Government economic strategy makes clear. I thank you for that answer. Does the minister share my concern that the recently published national records of Scotland projections suggests that Argyll and Bute's population will fall by 13.5 per cent by 2037. The second largest projected decline in all of Scotland and that the working age population is predicted to fall by almost 22 per cent. Does the minister agree with me that attracting new jobs and investment to boost economic growth in Argyll and Bute is vital to reversing this decline? That means that the Scottish Government must redouble efforts to improve the area's infrastructure in terms of improving roads such as the A83 and ensuring that proper broadband is available to all areas, including the small rural communities. I have a lot of sympathy with the points that Mr McGiggar raises. I am very clear my first answer that improving economic opportunities is critical to boosting population. As part of that, what we can see in a range of different areas in the Highlands and Islands is that the roll-out of digital connectivity, which, of course, is an on-going priority for the Government, has boosted business prospects very significant, as have other measures that we have taken such as the small business bonus scheme, which will be utilised extensively across the Argyll and Bute area. The Government is very much focused on ensuring that the infrastructure in rural Scotland, whether it is transport infrastructure or broadband connectivity, is appropriate to track business and to support and to encourage population growth. I will be participating later this year in a population summit on this issue with Argyll and Bute, and I look forward to making a contribution to that event. Thank you and good morning, Presiding Officer. To ask the Scottish Government what action it has taken to resolve the issue concerning duplicate registration and management information, dental accounting system, so that overpayments do not occur in the future. Myd is payment system for dentists as a matter for practitioner services division. I can confirm that practitioner services have put in place a number of measures to resolve issues causing duplicate registrations so that overpayments do not occur in the future. Hanzala Malik. Thank you for that response. Since 2006, the Scottish Government own figures estimate that 3.4 million has been overpaid to NHS dentists. This is mainly caused by a series of flaws in the MADAS medicine system that are forced to use and not due to the fault of the dentists. Does the minister agree that the sorting out of the problem should be a priority rather than punishing dentists for the error that is generated by a faulty computer system? What actions is he going to take to ensure that this is fixed so that dentists do not suffer in the future? It is important to understand that information that is held on the MADAS system is based upon information that is supplied by the dentist and the errors of a card as a result of the information that is supplied by dentists and included on the system. In order to reduce those errors from occurring in the future, they are now attached to the CHI number in order to reduce the risk of someone being put on the system as a duplicate registration. I am sure that the member will recognise that it is important that the £3 million of overpayments that have been made to dentists have been retained within the dental budget in order to be invested in dentistry and that that money has been used to improve Scotland's oral health record, as we have been doing for a number of years now. Make it brief, Dr Simpson. Thank you for that answer, minister, but the problem is that one dentist doesn't know that another dentist has had a patient register with them in duplicate, so it's not the dentist's fault. The system is requiring repayments over four years of this problem, which is an IT problem, to be repaid by these dentists within six weeks. If you're running a business, that's really not good, and I would suggest that the Government has got to get their sorted properly and not punish the dentists. I am sure that the member will recognise that the issue of overpayment that has been made to dentists is important that that's recovered. It's legally responsible for recovering that money, and it can be over a longer period of time as required, and there's a process in place to allow that to happen, and practitioner services division will allow that to happen where it is appropriate. However, I'm sure that the member will welcome the fact that all of that money has been reinvested in NHS dental care provision in Scotland, which is a positive step to make sure that we continue to improve oral healthcare in Scotland. Can I ask the Scottish Government when it last met with Police Scotland and what was discussed? I last met with representatives of Police Scotland at the public launch of the national code of ethics for policing in Scotland, which was held yesterday at the Scottish Police College. I was delighted to support that important development, which sees Police Scotland's values of integrity, fairness and respect firmly placed at the heart of our nation's policing. Can I thank the cabinet secretary for that answer? As the cabinet secretary is aware, a young woman from my constituency, Regan McCall, died in February after taking a legal substance in a nightclub. Can I ask the cabinet secretary to outline the measures that the Police Scotland and the Scottish Government, indeed, can take to ensure that this tragic incident is not repeated? The sympathy of everybody in the chamber goes to the family of young Regan McCall. It's a tragedy for anyone so young to lose their lives, especially in that manner. Taking any drug carries risks because it's impossible to know its contents and effects on your health, whether sold as legal or not. We would urge the public to heed warnings about the dangers of taking drugs, and we have made significant investment in our substance misuse education programme to ensure that credible, accurate and timely information is available to help people to make informed choices about their health. However, we are anxious to change even the name legal highs when these are in fact a psychoactive substances that can kill as we have seen. Parliament has backed plans by the community safety minister to work with our partners in Scotland and the UK Government to combat the supply and misuse of such new drugs at the first debate in Parliament on this issue. There is an ambitious programme for substance misuse education, and our drugs campaign, Know the Score, continues to offer reliable and non-judgmental advice on drugs and their risks. Scottish Executive, when a new prison will be built in the Highlands to replace Porterfield prison in Inverness? Discussions between Highland Council and the Scottish Prison Service are under way regarding an appropriate location for HMP Highland. Until those discussions are satisfactorily concluded, a date and location for the construction of the prison cannot be confirmed. However, as noted in the Scottish Government infrastructure investment plan 2011, it remains SPS's ambition to deliver HMP Highland as a replacement for HMP in Inverness during 2019. The Deputy Justice Minister criticised the Labour Justice Secretary in 2003 of burying her head in the sand and not addressing the consistent overcrowding in Inverness prison. In 2009, we were promised the jail with a price tag of £40 million. When will it be built and how many prisoners will it hold? The number of prisoners that will hold will be a matter for the Scottish Prison Service. I can confirm that, as I say, it is budgeted for 2019, and the Scottish Prison Service is working actively with Highland Council to ensure that the appropriate site can be discovered. What I can say is that it will certainly not cost in the region of the near £1 billion that has been paid by the taxpayer for Adiwell prison. It is budgeted to cross approximately £60 million in construction costs following on the £80 million construction cost for HMP. The Scottish taxpayer will not be funded with the huge expense that they are having to place pay for the burden of the PFI PPP prisons. Dave Thompson, briefly. Yes, would the cabinet secretary agree that an integrated justice centre would be a good idea when planning a new prison for the Highlands, encompassing all the elements of the justice system on one site? We strongly support measures that enable justice organisations to work together, ensure modern and efficient facilities. The member makes a good point, and I have no doubt that it is a matter that will be born in mind, not simply by the Scottish Prison Service but also by the Scottish Court Service, which ultimately would have to engage and deal with matters. Thank you. We now move to First Minister's Questions. Question number one, Johann Lamont. Thank you very much, Presiding Officer. To ask the First Minister what engagements he has planned for the
