Some fucking 'statement'!

Jenny Minto says fuck all.

Right, sorry I have to go.

I swear they time these debates so that mothers can't watch them.

Argh, it's Alex Cole 'did it for Beth' Hamilton ....

Minto: 'Kneejerk reaction won't be helpful' 'carefully considered'

Rachael Hamilton - some ministers have questioned the integrity of the Cass review - for the sake of young people, will the Minister consider ditching the BHA?

Speaker: there are many questions.

They were planning to allow 20 minutes of them - I'm sorry, though, it's school run time so I can't do any more updating! BBC Scotland may offer some updates:

Baillie: Does Minto agree with Harvie in condemning Cass?

We already have gender identiy working group, what use is another one?

Minto: This report is 400 pp. There are 30 recommendations. I am listening to clinicians and stakeholders.

Jackie Baillie - disappointed at the lack of substance in Minto's statement. It's a 'sop to the Greens to keep the BHA alive'

Megan Gallacher - has been seeking a statement all week. This now from J Minto offers no comfort to families who've been failed by Scotgov gender services.

'clear as mud'

Doesn't clarify whether gov will support recommendations.

'kickign the can down the road'

There's a lot of padding and waffle in this speech.

Describes last weeks as 'difficult and heartbreaking'

Questions now.
