The motion
That the Parliament records its profound gratitude to Dr Krishna Goel for his 36 years of outstanding service to the children of Scotland through his devoted work at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow; records that his work as a consultant paediatrician has benefited many thousands of children over the decades since he left Lucknow for Glasgow, courageously entering a new country to become one of Scotland’s most respected and beloved citizens, loved by his patients not only for his exceptional skill but also for his immense kindness; notes that his patients and colleagues are grateful that he will continue a clinic after his forthcoming retirement; commends Dr Goel for his work for the Children’s Hospice Movement, his authorship involving 10 textbooks and papers and his service on 11 medical and fund-raising committees, and regards Dr Krishna Goel B.Sc. Lucknow, M.B.B.S., D.C.H., M.D., M.R.C.P. (UK), Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, Fellow of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of Edinburgh and London and Fellow and Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, as an inspiring example of what is too often overlooked, namely the benefits of immigration.
