Meeting of the Parliament 03 March 2020
Motion debated, That the Parliament understands that the condition pre-eclampsia affects at least 6% of all pregnancies in Scotland, and that 70% of women admitted to hospital with suspected pre-eclampsia do not actually have the condition, which it considers results in cost implications for the healthcare system and unnecessary stress and inconvenience for the women and families involved; further understands that, in 2016, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) published guidelines recommending blood testing of placental growth factor (PlGF), stating that PlGF-based testing “can help rule out the condition in women presenting with suspected pre-eclampsia”, and that this testing is currently being implemented in NHS England; believes that PlGF-based testing is not routinely used in Scotland despite repeated calls for its implementation by the charity, Action on Pre-eclampsia; considers that there is a disparity in care for pregnant women in Scotland, including in the Lothian region, compared with England, and notes the calls on the Scottish Government to address what it sees as this disparity. 17:03 I thank colleagues from across the chamber who signed the motion allowing today’s debate, and I commend a number of fellow elected representatives who have campaigned on the issue for a number of years—longer than I have—including Kenneth Gibson MSP...

Public Petitions Committee 19 December 2019
The children’s commissioner asked me to make statutory guidance within six months, but before I could make statutory guidance I would have to have the statutory power to do that in the first place, and I cannot do that within six months. MSPs know how long it takes us to put primary legislation through the Parliament, and I would have to do that to make sta...

Although the television adverts are quite striking—they are voiced, I think, by James Bolam—I believe that all of us, especially MSPs who have a veterans’ locus, have a role to play in awareness raising and helping the fund to achieve its ambitious target.
