We would be grateful if you could clearly indicate in your response the sections or paragraphs to which you are responding. Any further comments may also be included. This will aid our analysis of the responses received.

I also enclose a note about the Executive’s consultation processes which includes a Respondee Information Form. This form allows you to indicate how you wish your consultation response to be handled. Please return your completed form along with your response to the consultation. All responses will be acknowledged.

Access to consultation responses

We will make all responses available to the public in the Scottish Executive Library by the 11^th April 2005 unless confidentiality is requested. In addition, we will later publish an analysis of responses on the Scottish Executive website. While numerical totals may include confidential responses, the name or content of the response will not be published. All responses not marked confidential will be checked for any potentially defamatory material before being logged in the library or placed on the website.

SEConsult

A new email alert system for SE consultations (SEconsult) was launched in March 2004. This system will allow stakeholder individuals and organisations to register and receive a weekly email containing details of all new Scottish Executive consultations (including web links). SEconsult will complement, but in no way replace the Scottish Executive’s distribution lists, and is designed to allow stakeholders to ‘keep an eye’ on all Scottish Executive consultation activity, and therefore be alerted at the earliest opportunity to those of most interest. We encourage you to register as soon as possible on http://www.scotland.gov.uk/consultations/seconsult.aspx.

Further copies of this consultation can be obtained by telephoning 0131 244 7540. It can also be found on the Scottish Executive website at: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/consultations. Freephone 0800 771234 to find out where your nearest public Internet access point is, if you prefer to submit your response by e-mail. A shortened list of those who we are consulting/informing can be found at the back of the consultation paper. A full list is available on request. If you are aware of any other organisations who should be consulted please contact Marilyn Tweedie on 0131 244 7540.

Yours faithfully

KESTER GIBSON
