The 2nd report of the Expert Working Group on Welfare looking at the medium and long term options for welfare in an independent Scotland has just been published. Professor Ailsa McKay was a member of this group.
The chairman, Martyn Evans said “I am indebted to my fellow Group Members for their expertise and insight, and for the healthy challenge that each brought to our discussions. I know they have greatly valued the independence of the Group and the space this provided for our deliberations.
Tragically, one of our members died before this report could be presented.
Professor Ailsa McKay was a lively and enthusiastic contributor to our work and her expertise helped the Group enormously. Her vision and passion were limitless, and she continually encouraged us to see beyond the problems and embrace opportunities and possibilities.
Though we greatly missed her input into the written report, we have made every effort to ensure her contribution is fully reflected in what we say. I hope she would be proud of our report.”
