- Submitted by: Neil Findlay, Lothian, Scottish Labour.
- Date lodged: Monday, 24 June 2019
- Motion reference: S5M-17918
That the Parliament understands that employees of St John’s Hospital in Livingston have flagged concerns about their safety in relation to the parking situation; believes that employees have been forced to park offsite in the surrounding area, which has resulted in what it considers to be legitimate safety concerns; understands that many staff members must walk through dimly lit areas to reach their vehicles, and that some have experienced significant damage to their vehicles; believes that the safety and protection of St John’s employees is paramount, and calls on NHS Lothian to urgently produce a strategy that will solve what it sees as these significant parking problems at the hospital once and for all.
