That the Parliament congratulates David Ruddick, from Dumfries, on being awarded the prestigious Queen’s Nurse title; understands that the Queen’s Nurse title was reintroduced in 2007 and is a formal recognition that participants are included in a professional network that is committed to delivering outstanding care in the community; commends David for finishing the Queen’s Nursing title’s nine-month development programme; notes that the programme involved completing residential and online workshops, along with individual coaching sessions; recognises that the programme requires participants to choose an issue for development that will have a significant impact on those they care for and provide an opportunity to enhance their skills in this area; acknowledges what it sees as David’s exceptional contributions to nursing as an unscheduled care service manager and early intervention for psychosis team lead at NHS Dumfries and Galloway, and wishes David every success with his career in the years ahead.
No division on record. Either the chamber agreed this motion without a vote, it was withdrawn before debate, or it predates 2011 — vote-by-vote records only run from then.

Possible final motion text as originally lodged

No carried amendments applied

This is a computer’s best guess at applying carried amendments to the original motion text. It uses simple text rules for phrases such as “insert at end”, “after X insert Y”, and “leave out from X to end and insert Y”. Treat it as an aid, not the official motion text.
