 Welcome members to the fourth meeting in 2015 of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee, reminding everyone to switch off mobile phones as they can affect the broadcasting system. First item on our agenda today is for members to consider some guidance on supporting constituents and to consider whether reference to equalities considerations should be added to the code of conduct. Does anyone wish to make any comment on that? I'm not trying to be picky and I understand why this is here, but I think that it's right. Constituents won't always declare that they have a mental health issue. Sometimes it's the people who either don't want to tell you or haven't been diagnosed who are the most difficult to try to help. I just wondered whether we need to perhaps say something about a scenario where perhaps a member suspects that there may be a problem of that. It's not just people with mental health problems, it's people with problems of a whole range of things I can think of where you maybe have to just stop and think about whether your approach is absolutely the right most helpful one in the circumstances. I just wondered whether we need to have some acknowledgement of that difficulty. The guidance that's referred to in the draft section being proposed to the committee tries to cover those sensitivities as far as is useful. There's a section about trying to recognise different forms of disorder and also how can I suggest to a constituent that they need help with their mental health. There are very sensitive situations like that but it might be that some more of that information could be covered in the bit of volume 3 that we've got in the paper. I think that, convener, if at least there's a reference to a linkage or that it's referred to in some way I think that would be helpful. I've been referred on a previous occasion by a constituent with severe, very severe mental health problems. In relation to this individual, two other MSPs have also been referred, but in each case the committee has been the clerks on behalf of the then committee. It's been quite clear. It also raises the issue of course of the safety of members and our staff, but that is not the proper place to make reference to that because some mental health issues can be severe enough. At the end of the day we've got to judge it as we say it and be aware that we have places we can go to get assistance on the matter. I think that that's really what it's about. I think that what Patricia Ferguson said is helpful and we'll take account of that. Our committee content that I agree changes in the light of those remarks and we proceed from there. Thank you very much indeed. We're agreed to the wording subject to that and that ends the public part of the meeting.
