Another day another 'consultation'

Consultation alert.

The Scottish Parliament's Health and Sport Committee is currently inviting written evidence on the Health (Tobacco, Nicotine etc, and Care)(Scotland) Bill.

Part 1 of the Bill relates to restrictions on nicotine vapour products (NVPs) and smoking in "parts" of hospital grounds, which will become an offence.

Specifically the Committee wants answers to the questions:

1. Do you support the Bill’s provisions in relation to NVPs?
2. Do you support the proposal to ban smoking in hospital grounds?
3. Is there anything you would add/remove/change in the Bill with regards to NVPs or smoking in hospital grounds?

Deadline for submissions is tomorrow, August 5.

If you're short of time there's an online survey. It takes no more than a few minutes to complete and it's anonymous. Click here.
