 Welcome back. Our third item today is consideration of an affirmative instrument and we will have evidence session with Cabinet Secretary. The instrument that we are looking at today is the Community Care Personal Care and Nursing Care Scotland amendment regulations 2022. I welcome to the committee, the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care, Humza Yousaf. Good morning. Accompanying Cabinet Secretary, we have as officials Marianne Barker, the unit head of adult social care charging, Ian Goleitle, policy manager for adult social care charging and Claire Thomas, the policy manager for adult social care charging of the Scottish Government. Good morning, Cabinet Secretary. I believe that you have a statement on the instrument. Good morning, convener. I hope that you and the committee members are keeping safe and keeping well. Thanks so much for the opportunity to speak to the committee today regarding the proposed amendments to the community care personal care and nursing care Scotland regulations 2022. I am sure that you and the committee are very aware that the routine annual increases to the rates for free personal and nursing care payments help to cover the cost of those services for self-funding adults in residential care. Historically, those payments have increased in line with inflation, of our very clear from emerging evidence, including from the Scottish care home census, that the cost of providing care has increased. To help to redress this last year, we made an above inflation increase to the rates, so payments 7.5 per cent, a significant increase on the inflation rate previously used. We again feel that it is appropriate to make an above inflation increase to the rates this year, and the regulations before you propose a 10 per cent uplift for £22.23. That will mean that the weekly payment rates for personal care for self-funders rises from £193.50 to £212.85, and the nursing care component will rise from £87.10 to £95.80. It is estimated that that will cost around £15 million in the next financial year, and it will be fully funded by additional provisions within the local government settlement, as outlined in the recent £22.23 Scottish budget. The most recent official stats that we have show that more than 10,000 self-funders receive free personal nursing care payments. They should all benefit from those changes. I am happy to take any questions that you or the committee may have. I will look to my colleagues to see if anyone has any questions. I do not believe that anyone does. We move on to the next agenda item, which is that procedurally we have to have a formal debate on this affirmative SSI. I do not see that anyone wants to make a contribution, but there is the opportunity if anyone wants to say anything. I will put the question on the motion. The question is that motion S6M-0301 be approved. Are we all agreed? We are all agreed. That concludes the consideration of this instrument. At our next meeting on 22 February, the committee will receive an update from key stakeholders on tackling alcohol harms and will also take evidence from the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care on two affirmative SSIs. That concludes the public part of our meeting today.
