Scottish Parliamentary inquiry

A Scottish Parliamentary inquiry is a formal investigation conducted by a committee within the Scottish Parliament. Its purpose is to gather information, examine issues, and assess policies or actions related to specific topics of public interest, such as health, education, or government decisions. The inquiry may involve gathering evidence through written submissions, expert testimonies, and public hearings. The findings are usually presented in a report, which can lead to recommendations and influence future legislation or government actions. In essence, it is a way for elected representatives to scrutinize and improve how government operates in Scotland.
