Meeting of the Parliament 27 November 2013
The final item of business today is a members’ business debate on motion S4M-08144, in the name of James Dornan, on St Andrew’s First Aid’s “First aid? Count me in” campaign. The debate will be concluded without any question being put.
Motion debated,
That the Parliament congratulates St Andrew’s First Aid on its Count Me In Campaign; notes that it is seeking 34,000 signatories to its pledge, which it understands is the equivalent of the number of household accidents reported on a yearly basis that are taken to hospital where basic first aid would have sufficed; understands that the campaign seeks to educate the almost three-quarters of people in Scotland, including in Glasgow Cathcart, who do not have basic first aid skills, and considers that these skills are crucial in saving lives and removing unnecessary strain on emergency services.
