Update
We contacted the Scottish Executive two weeks ago and put a number
of questions to them regarding the research material and any mental
health experts who may have been contacted as part of that research.
Our questions were forwarded to Sue Hampson and Sarah Nelson
for a response.
We are disappointed therefore, that so far they have refused
to respond to our questions regarding the booklet 'A Can of Worms'.
It would be helpful for all to have some understanding of the
research behind their information booklet.
Rather than reply to our questions, Sarah Nelson is expected
to defend the information and advice contained in the booklet
in one of Scotland's Sunday newspapers this week.
We had expected her to be in a position to answer our questions
frankly and professionally, it is disappointing that she appears
unable to do so.
We understand that 'A Can of Worms' is now attracting attention
from professionals across Scotland.
