Scottish Parliament – June 3, 2026 – 2

S7M-00228.4: As an amendment to motion S7M-00228 in the name of Angela Constance (Investing, Protecting and Renewing Scotland’s NHS), leave out from “recognises” to end and insert “thanks hard-working NHS and social care staff across Scotland for their care and dedication;

commends them for the progress made in recovering services despite the Scottish Government’s failure to meet its own promises, and believes that protecting and renewing Scotland’s NHS for the next generation requires a proper emergency waiting times plan with funding that follows the patient, embracing new technology to improve productivity and patient experience, prioritising primary care and delivering proper investment in social care, which will not only reduce pressure on acute services but support healthier and happier lives in the community.”

Original motion(S7M-00228): That the Parliament recognises and commends the hard-working staff across Scotland’s NHS;

thanks them for the significant progress they have delivered, including long waits down 11 months in a row, and welcomes the Scottish Government's commitment to working with all staff across Scotland's Health and Social Care sectors to deliver further reform and renewal.
