Further to the answer to question S5W-06271, the Scottish Government will lay the snaring review report before the Scottish Parliament on 14 March 2017, and will also publish a copy on the Scottish Government website the same day.

The information contained the Scottish Health Survey 2015, published in September 2016, states that 33% of people in the 65-74 age group and 26% of people in the over 75 age group were obese or morbidly obese.

This information is not held centrally.

As part of the consultation on developing a new diet and obesity strategy the Scottish Government will be considering what work may need to be undertaken to better understand the extent of obesity as well as monitor and evaluate both the scale of the task and our effect upon it.

Information on the number of delayed discharges is collected by NHS ISD and is available on the internet at http://www.isdscotland.org/Health-Topics/Health-and-Social-Community-Care/Publications/. At the last monthly snapshot census in December 18 2016 patients were delayed waiting for equipment and/or adaptations. However, information is not collected on the specific types of equipment or adaptations needed.

The Scottish Government is in discussion with a wide range of stakeholders from the pet industry, animal training and animal welfare sectors about the format and content of the tough new regulations on the use, and monitoring the use, of electronic training collars. We aim to present the regulations to the Scottish Parliament in this Parliamentary term.

The Scottish Government is in discussion with a wide range of stakeholders from the pet industry, animal training and animal welfare sectors about the format and content of the tough new regulations on the use of electronic training collars, including the qualifications required to become an approved trainer.

We are committed to working with local authorities, and our partners within the justice system, to strengthen the deterrent effect of legislation.

Local authorities have power to issue fixed penalties to people they catch littering, and we have already increased the level of the financial penalty from £50 to £80.

As we develop our Circular Economy and Zero Waste Bill, we will engage with local authorities and others about removing barriers to enforcement for littering from vehicles.

The following table includes patients with a Key Information Summary (KIS) or Shared Clinical Data Record (SCD) created in 2015-2016 who died prior to 14 October 2016, which is the latest data available from NHS National Services Scotland who provide Scottish Government with these statistics.

Palliative care is an important component of the Health and Social Care Delivery Plan.

Supporting people to live and die well and with dignity at home or in a homely setting will require integrated and coordinated action. This is why Integration Authorities have been given statutory responsibility for meeting this need.

By creating the right conditions to enable Integration Authorities to make the changes needed to reduce the use of inappropriate types of care and invest in alternatives, we expect to see a reduction in occupied bed days and more people supported to die at home. Many of the specific actions required to support this shift are already addressed by the commitments set out in our Strategic Framework for Action on Palliative and End of Life Care.
