Motion, as amended, agreed to,
That the Parliament recognises the importance of person-centred healthcare in delivering the best health outcomes possible; supports measures to ensure that individuals are supported to be active partners in their own care; agrees that all parts of the healthcare system should be focused on the patient, and that should include both community and hospital care; further supports Scotland’s modernisation programme to test measures to make GP services more accessible for patients, while reducing bureaucracy for GPs and freeing their time to focus on patients; commends the hard work and dedication of those working in Scotland’s health and care services; calls on the Scottish Government to guarantee that the health service is ready for winter and that all waiting time targets will be met over the winter period; believes that all people in Scotland should be supported to live a longer, healthier life; acknowledges that this support can only be delivered in a person-centred manner with a well-resourced and motivated workforce; considers mental wellbeing to be a foundation for good health and good healthcare, and believes that further work is needed to break down barriers and tackle the stigma that continues to exist around mental ill-health.
