That the Parliament congratulates McCarthy & Stone on its Ramsay Grange and Lyle Court developments in Barnton, Edinburgh, which won the Best Retirement Scheme Award for the whole of the UK at the 2016 Housebuilder Awards in London; commends everyone involved in the successful consultation, design and implementation of the development, which included the restoration of the former Barnton Hotel; understands that this is the company’s first assisted living development to be built in Edinburgh; notes what it sees as the vital role that retirement housing can play in alleviating pressures on health and social care budgets and in freeing up homes on the market, and considers that there is a need for Scotland to provide more older people’s housing of all types and tenures to help address the needs of the country’s ageing population.
