Mr. Maclennan

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he proposes to issue guidance to social work departments on supporting pupils with medical needs. [13217]

There are no plans to issue such guidance to social work departments. However, my officials are currently discussing with directors of education in Scotland draft guidance on legal and administrative issues related to the administration of medicine in schools.
