First Minister Alex Salmond has declined to answer "hypothetical" questions about the treatment of the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing. (...)
Mr Salmond said there was no application before the Scottish Government and it would be wrong to "prejudge" any such process. (...)
The possibility of a transfer back to Libya has also been raised.
Mr Salmond said the Scottish Government never commented on the medical condition of any prisoner.
"I note that Mr Megrahi's legal team have asked for privacy on that matter," he said.
"And, secondly, there's no application for prisoner transfer or anything else before the Scottish Government, therefore there's no consideration being given to it because there's no application."
He said he would not answer hypothetical questions.
"One thing you could never do under any circumstances is prejudge how you would treat any such application - if indeed one arrived," he said.
"As far as the medical condition of any prisoner in Scotland is concerned, we don't discuss it - that's a matter for them and their medical advisers."
