Motion, as amended, agreed to,
That the Parliament shares the Scottish Government’s commitment to the NHS; recognises the benefits of the health budget being protected; commends NHS staff for their dedication and hard work, which has provided patients and families with high quality care, including the lowest waiting times on record, lowest infection rates and substantial improvements in patient safety; further recognises that the NHS workforce in Scotland has grown since 2006, including an increase in emergency services staff; notes the value of the inspection system brought in by the Scottish Government that both highlights high quality patient care and identifies where there are problems to be addressed, and welcomes the new Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing’s continued fundamental support for the efforts of NHS staff, including nurses, doctors and allied health professionals, and the Scottish Government’s clear and unbroken commitment to safe, sustainable and person-centred patient care.
