<br />
Cabinet Secretary for Social Security and Older People, Shirley-Anne Somerville visited Inclusion Scotland. The Cabinet Secretary met staff, including Iain Smith, Policy and Public Affairs Officer and Pauline Nolan, Policy and Localisation manager, and disabled people ahead of a Parliamentary Statement she is scheduled to make on Dignity and Respect in Scotland's Social Security System. <br />
<br />
Inclusion Scotland is run by disabled people ourselves. This is important because disabled people know best about the barriers that prevent our full inclusion into Scottish society. We experience them every day. But we cannot remove them by ourselves. We need allies and supporters. We need those in power to hear disabled people’s voices and work with us to remove these barriers.

Equalities Minister Christina McKelvie visited Ladywood Leisure Centre in Penicuik today where she was joined by local MSP Christine Grahame to meet volunteers and participants at the centre as she launched the new framework<br />
<br />
Older people’s rights are at the centre of a new framework to ensure people can remain active, keep working if they want to, feel safe, and access the services they need.  The Older People’s Framework aims to challenge unwelcome attitudes to and discrimination towards older people. It highlights the positive contributions older people make to our society and the economy, and has been directly influenced by older people who have provided their thoughts, stories and experiences, bringing to life the issues they’ve faced over the years.<br />
 <br />
Speaking at a visit to The Ageing Well Midlothian programme, Older People and Equalities Minister Christina McKelvie said: “Ageing is inevitable but growing older should not mean having to face barriers or discrimination, and one of the issues the framework addresses is the negative perceptions surrounding ageing. Older people in our society have much to offer and contribute and we are committed to supporting them.  This is why we are funding the celebration of older people at the Festival of Ageing, increasing digital inclusion, promoting fair workplace practices and ensuring we have a housing system which works for an ageing population. This framework is the next part of the journey and I am looking forward to an exciting trip, where we all work together to create the best country to age in.  You only need to look at the Ageing Well project to see the many positive examples of older people enjoying life and bringing joy to their local community. This is what we need to encourage.”<br />

 <br />
Speaking at a visit to The Ageing Well Midlothian programme, Older People and Equalities Minister Christina McKelvie said: “Ageing is inevitable but growing older should not mean having to face barriers or discrimination, and one of the issues the framework addresses is the negative perceptions surrounding ageing. Older people in our society have much to offer and contribute and we are committed to supporting them.  This is why we are funding the celebration of older people at the Festival of Ageing, increasing digital inclusion, promoting fair workplace practices and ensuring we have a housing system which works for an ageing population. This framework is the next part of the journey and I am looking forward to an exciting trip, where we all work together to create the best country to age in.  You only need to look at the Ageing Well project to see the many positive examples of older people enjoying life and bringing joy to their local community. This is what we need to encourage.”<br />

Health Secretary Shona Robison has been warned by the Scottish Conservatives that they are putting hery "on notice" ahead of a Holyrood debate on financial problems facing health boards. Following the publication of review  by the government today – but without a government press release alongside it - proposes to: “re – evaluate inclusion/ exclusion criteria of cancer types subject to CWT (cancer waiting times )standards while taking into account the level of resource available for any additional data collection requests. Review evidence for making CWT standards timings variable according to tumour biology”<br />
<br />
These proposals suggest the government is planning to scrap the 31 and 62 day standards, with different targets for different types of cancer.  Scottish Labour are asking the Health Secretary to go. <br />
<br />
Labour Health spokesperson Anas Sarwar said: “Cancer should be a national priority.  In the last year more than 1,700 people suspected of having cancer had to wait longer than the expected treatment standard.  Even after being referred for treatment by doctors, more than 1,200 people with cancer had to wait longer than the expected treatment standard.  These are Shocking figures that expose the failure of this Health Secretary. Today, unbelievably, the Health Secretary sneaks out this report which shows that rather than improve their performance, the Government’s plan is to scrap the standard waiting time for cancer. This is shameful behaviour from a shameless Health Secretary. After trying to blame bad weather for performance yesterday, she is trying to bury bad news on cancer waiting times. Enough is enough – Shona Robison has to go.”<br />
