It should be noted that since this research was commissioned a new Scottish government
has been formed, which means that the report reflects commitments and strategic
objectives conceived under the previous administration. The policies, strategies,
objectives and commitments referred to in this report should not therefore be treated as
current Government policy.
The views expressed in this report are those of the researcher and
do not necessarily represent those of the Department or Scottish Ministers.
