That the Parliament congratulates NHS Lanarkshire on its recent win at the 2019 Quality Improvement Services Awards; understands that the awards are supported by the Scottish Government and Healthcare Improvement Scotland; notes that the Coorie-In project won in the Excellence in the maternity, neonatal and paediatric services category; recognises that the project promotes skin-to-skin contact between new mums and their babies following a caesarean section with neonatal, maternity and theatre staff working together to develop the project to keep mums and babies together where possible following the procedure and to improve maternity, neonatal and paediatric services in a health care setting; notes that since the project began there has been an 89% reduction of term babies being admitted to the neonatal unit with respiratory conditions, and wishes all neonatal, maternity and theatre staff well for the future.
